It is also a worthy reference for physicians in practice. … Overall, I found this book to be informative, well written, and useful. It is very strong in its coverage of musculoskeletal medicine. … It is well referenced and would make a fine book for trainees to read to obtain baseline knowledge in the field of sports medicine.” (Craig Young, Doody’s Book Reviews, August, 2019)
