Sports participation at both amateur and professional levels has
increased enormously in recent decades, impacting positively on all
aspects of health except musculoskeletal injuries. Acute muscle
injuries account for approximately 20% of all injuries in sports
and pose an increasing challenge for athletes and medical
practitioners. This book documents current knowledge and standards
of care for acute muscle injuries. The full range of injuries is
covered, including those to the hamstring, hip adductor,
quadriceps, calf, pectoralis major, biceps brachii, latissimus
dorsi, and rectus abdominis muscles. Evidence-based content is
combined with experience from medical experts from around the globe
in order to provide the reader with a full picture of the latest
insights into terminology, trauma mechanisms, basic principles of
healing, diagnosis, and treatment. Helpful diagnostic and treatment
algorithms are included, and clear guidance provided on ensuring
optimal rehabilitation and rapid return to sports. Acute Muscle
Injuries is structured in such a way that it will serve as an ideal
reference manual for orthopaedic surgeons, sports medicine
physicians, physiotherapists, general practitioners, paramedics,
sports managers, athletes, and coaches. The authors are all
scientifically active in the field of sports medicine and also well
known for their great clinical experience in the care of acute
muscle injuries.
