Synopsis
This book serves as an Introduction into sports trauma for the orthopedic resident specifically catering to what the resident needs to know about orthopedic sports medicine. The topic is approached from an anatomic standpoint where each chapter follows a fixed format. A unique feature is that this book is written by recently graduated residents who will still be acutely aware of what they wished they knew about sports medicine in their residency.
