This book describes the current applications of arthroscopy in a
very wide range of sports injuries involving, among other sites,
the hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, and wrist. For each
condition, mechanisms of injury are explained and the role of
arthroscopy in diagnosis and treatment is described. Relevant
information is also provided on the epidemiology and mechanisms of
injury in specific sports and on indications for treatment and
rehabilitation. The book fully reflects the recent advances that
have taken place in arthroscopy, permitting more accurate
assessment and more successful management of post-traumatic
pathologies. Furthermore, it acknowledges that as a result of the
increasing use of new technologies and biomaterials, there is now
particular interest in techniques that promote biological healing
of articular lesions and permit complete functional recovery. The
authors are leading specialists in the field who have aimed to
provide practitioners with the clear guidance that they require on
the evaluation and treatment of injuries incurred during sporting
activity.
