"This is by far the most comprehensive and user-friendly text for both professor and student! I am continuing to use it in my Athletic Training Program, and beginning next year, I will institute it into my PT courses in Ortho I & II."--Vincent J.

Completely revised and updated, the 4th Edition of the field's standard resource brings you all field's most current knowledge and an all-new full-color art program. Its superb combination of detailed illustrations and precise language makes even the most complicated concepts and techniques clear.

Organized by body region, each chapter begins with a review of anatomy and biomechanics; proceeds through clinical evaluation, pathologies, and related special tests; and concludes with a discussion of on-field or initial management of specific injuries.

What I expected

Delivered faster than I expected and faster than given time expectancy. The book is a little worn, but that was expected. The description of the appearence was on point.

This book is a worthwhile purchase for individuals in the sports medicine field.
