The book outlines management implications of observations made at clinical examination and imaging of patients presenting with sports related musculoskeletal ailments. It clearly reviews typical findings of sports related injuries at clinical examination and at integrated imaging, including radiographs, ultrasound and MRI. The aim is to clearly define the practical implications of findings identified at MRI and ultrasound in patients with sports injuries.

The book is aimed at sports medicine physicians, orthopaedic surgeons, rheumatologists, and to a lesser extent at radiologists both in training and in practice. The book will also be suitable for medical students as part of the module on musculoskeletal medicine.
