Overuse injuries of the musculoskeletal system are common occurrences. Yet most existing volumes on cumulative trauma disorders deal with the subject from an ergonomic and occupational therapy standpoint, and do not provide the all-encompassing synopsis that physicians demand.Overuse Injuries of the Musculoskeletal System, Second Edition, answers the need by presenting a complete overview of the methods for diagnosing and treating the overuse injuries that affect the musculoskeletal system as a whole. Each chapter includes the definition, origins, clinical picture and diagnostics, and treatment for the given injury. The book goes beyond diagnosis and treatment by identifying etiological factors and discussing ways to prevent overuse injuries.This new edition retains the successful systematic format that made the first edition a bestseller and an invaluable tool for orthopaedists, physical therapists, rheumatologists, radiologists and sports medicine practitioners. This version includes a new chapter on radiologic diagnosis, new chapter on overuse injuries in female athletes and supplements previously-existing chapters with new material.

The need for a comprehensive resource with easy-to-find information has increased with the addition of nine new syndromes. Tunnel Syndromes: Peripheral Nerve Compression Syndromes provides a quick overview of tunnel syndromes including the definition, anatomy, etiology, clinical signs and symptoms, and treatment. It presents a total of 50 tunnel syndromes. Following the tradition of the first two editions, this resource continues to probe the origins of tunnel syndromes and to propose probable causes that lead to them. All existing chapters have been updated and new chapters have been added including:Spinal accessory nerve syndrome Intercostobrachial nerve syndrome Notalgia paresthetica Medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve syndrome Distal posterior interosseous nerve syndrome Medial superior cluneal nerve syndrome Pudendus nerve syndrome Lateral plantar nerve syndrome Medial plantar nerve syndromeNew in this Edition: New syndromes of clinical importance Improved illustrations, including new magnetic resonance images Twenty-seven new drawings (graphic designs) and twenty new photos Updated references with a total of more than 1,650 citations
