Fantastic resource for PCPs

This is a book geared towards physicians who provide primary care for sports related injuries. After a summary of acute and overuse injuries, the book is organized anatomically: shoulder; elbow; hand and wrist; neck and back; pelvis, hip and thigh; knee; other leg injuries; ankle; and foot. The book covers diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of the injured athlete.
