About this title

Book Description:

This second edition of the popular book Evidence-based Sports Medicine builds on the features that made the first edition such a valuable text and provides a completely up-to-date tool for sports medicine physicians, family practitioners and orthopedic surgeons. Updated to take into account new evidence from systematic reviews and controlled trials, Evidence-based Sports Medicine is a unique reference book on the optimum management of sports-related conditions. This second edition contains sections on acute injury, chronic conditions, and injuries to the upper limb, groin and knee and to the lower leg. It also pays increased attention to the important and emerging area of injury prevention. A fully revised methodology section also reflects changes in technique and application while more MCQs and essay questions allow readers to continually assess their knowledge and understanding of the topics covered. Additional information and updates are available from www.evidbasedsportsmedicine.com

From the Publisher:

This evidence-based text is a major new departure in the sports medicine literature. It helps you develop evidence-based medicine skills, and it provides the evidence for optimum treatment in many of the most common conditions:

A "toolbook" introductory section explains the basis of evidence-based medicine: how to critically review the literature and search the databases.

25 clinical chapters based on systematic reviews present the best evidence for management of the common acute and chronic conditions

Multiple choice questions and essay questions on each of the conditions provide the opportunity to test yourself

An accompanying free access web site keeps the evidence up to date and gives relevant information about the specialty.

Edited by two of the world’s leading specialists in evidence-based sports medicine, and with contributions from internationally respected authors, this is a comprehensive and authoritative publication that no one in the field of sports medicine - whether physician, trainer or physiotherapist - should be without.
