Shoulder and Elbow Injuries in Athletes: Prevention, Treatment and Return to Sport, 1e

When it comes to injuries in high-performance athletes, especially those related to the shoulder and elbow, there are few resources that provide a comprehensive management plan. “On-Field Management of Athletic Injuries to the Shoulder and Elbow,” written by a team of authoritative physicians, is a practical reference that not only outlines unique on-field management approaches to injuries but also covers both non-operative and operative treatment options.

The book provides a wealth of information on different types of injuries, including tendon tears, clavicle and olecranon fractures, and OCD of the capitellum. Unlike other references in the market, this book takes a targeted approach towards athletes under the age of 40, making it an essential resource for healthcare providers dealing with sports injuries.

One of the most significant strengths of this book is its authors, who bring an immense collective wealth of knowledge on sports injuries. Editors and authors of this book have held presidencies of the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine, the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, and the Arthroscopy Association of North America, and are consultants for professional and collegiate sports teams. With a diverse range of medical experts contributing to this book, readers get a well-rounded perspective and depth of information.

The book also includes video clips that provide clear instructions on physical examinations and various surgical processes. Rehabilitation guidelines and critical return-to-sport protocols, along with information on on-the-field management and early post-injury assessment, make this book a go-to resource for both experienced and novice healthcare providers.

This resource not only emphasizes pain relief and restoring function but also emphasizes the importance of timely treatment to get athletes back to their sport while ensuring safety. Athletes can lose significant time from any injury, and this book can help healthcare providers to support them in returning to their prior level of performance.

For healthcare providers looking to stay up-to-date on the latest management approaches, this book provides an extensive review of the current standards of care for shoulder and elbow instability, prevention in youth sports, and changing standards of care.

In conclusion, “On-Field Management of Athletic Injuries to the Shoulder and Elbow” is an invaluable resource, suitable for both primary care providers and specialists. It provides clear direction on management of speedy recovery, and being an eBook, also makes it easy to use and reference as needed. It’s a book that every healthcare provider should have, whether in private practice or at an institution, to stay ahead of the curve with state-of-the-art knowledge and best practices.
