Sports Medicine in the Pediatric Office: A Multimedia Case-Based Text With Video

Metzl (Sports Medicine Institute for Young Athletes, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, NY) presents a practical multimedia reference designed to help pediatricians provide optimal care for their athletic children and teen patients. The material combines a workbook, illustrated with b&w and color photographs and diagrams, with a companion DVD; the video clips are meant to be viewed as the user reads through the corresponding text sections within the book. Coverage includes the basics of sports injury evaluation; when to order x-rays, CT scans, and MRIs; treatment plan development; case-based coverage of common injuries to the ankle and foot, knee and lower leg, shoulder, wrist and elbow, hip and spine, and concussions; and preventative strategies. The appendices include reprints of seven related articles previously published between 1999 and 2005, and a selection of seven reproducible patient handouts. For pediatric health professionals, residents, and medical students. Annotation c2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
