This concise volume in the Encyclopaedia of Sports Medicine series,
published under the auspices of the International Olympic
Committee, provides a dependable source of current knowledge
available on tendinopathy and covers both the basic science and
clinical aspects of the subject.
Despite its high incidence, the precise etiopathogenesis and
effective treatment of tendinopathy remain elusive.
Tendinopathy in Athletes draws on the expertise of an
international and prolific collection of contributors, both
clinicians and scientists, who provide new insights into this
specialized area.
This book:
* * provides a comprehensive resource for both clinicians and
researchers with information organized logically, with an
easy-to-follow progression from the basic scientific findings to
clinical applications
* * discusses the full range of treatment modalities, including new
molecular and biological approaches, plus surgical and alternative
approaches to tendinopath
* * contains ‘What We Need to Know’ sections that
suggest future areas of research for young investigators.
As tendinopathy remains one of the most common injuries
encountered, both in sports and at the workplace, this essential
volume is sure to be a source of frequent consultation.
