Product Description

Advances in nuclear bone scans, CT scans and MRI have enabled the detection of stress fractures to be identified far more easily. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, this work covers the pathophysiology, epidemiology, risk factors and treatment associated with these types of sports injuries. The book should be of interest to sports medicine physicians, orthopaedic surgeons, physiotherapists and general practitioners.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ye-ouch!, 23 April 2006

By A Runner "mk" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Stress Fractures (Hardcover)

It would not be stretching the truth too far to say I woke up one morning with a stress fracture of the femoral neck; a particularly nasty one. I am recovering nicely, thanks, but have yet to find anyone who can tell me how the heck I did it. So much for the nice 'warning' one is supposed to notice over a period of weeks. That didn't happen in my experience. Consequently, I am left trying to answer the question, How in the world did I get so far over the line and not know it? And, How do I keep from repeating this performance? This book is providing answers. It's technical. It will give the average non-scientist more information than they want to know; the section on research methodology made my eyes glaze. But, it is helping me construct an explanation of how I got here, and more importantly, how I can avoid a next time. If you already know a whole lot about bone remodeling, this book isn't likely to help you much. However, if like me, you didn't understand that bone undergoes microtears in response to loading, and has a pattern of repair that parallels muscle tissue, the contents can be revealing. Five stars minus one because I have no plans to publish research in this realm, but four stars for the questions I didn't know enough to ask, and the answers it offers. I recommend it.
