Sammendrag: An understanding of soft tissue reactions to trauma and the effects of treatment is essential for anyone regularly dealing with sports injuries. The second edition of this book provides a concise, practical account of the management of soft tissue sports injuries for the physiotherapist, sports doctor, general practitioner and trainer, based on the authors' extensive experience in running sports injury clinics. The book is in two sections: Section I concentrates on the incidence of injuries in different sports, general treatment and prevention, and the correlation between age and sports injuries; Section II is divided into anatomical regions — foot, ankle and so on — and describes injuries, diagnosis and differential diagnosis. This new edition is fully revised and expanded and includes new drawings, diagrams and tables. It now includes a section on age, detailed coverage of new therapeutics and a new section on wound healing. This book will be essential reading for all those involved in the management of sports injuries, as well as medical students, trainers and team coaches.
