Sports medicine is an area of great current interest, in part because athletes are more motivated to seek treatment after injury and to expect a perfect outcome than most patients. This compact text presents a pictoral guide to the recognition of injuries and medical problems in sports. Presented in the tried and tested Colour Guides format, with facing colour illustrations, it gives thorough coverage of both traumatic and medical problems in outstandingly visual way. Of particular interest are sections on athletes with special needs, including the Female Athlete, the Child Athlete, and the Older Athlete, plus coverage of topics such as Sport and the Environment.
