ACL Injuries in Female Athletes cover

This easy-to-read reference presents a succinct overview of clinically-focused topics covering the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of ACL injuries in the female athlete. Written by two professional team physicians, it provides practical, focused information for orthopaedic and sports medicine surgeons and physicians. Covers ACL injury risk factors and prevention, including biomechanics, biology, and anatomy of the female athlete. Discusses graft choices, the biology of healing, rehabilitation and return to play, future options for treatment, and more. Addresses special considerations such as pediatric ACL and revision ACL. Consolidates today's available information and experience in this timely area into one convenient resource.

"The authors note that this book is the first of its kind to discuss ACL injuries based on gender, and as such fills a void in the medical literature. The inclusion of unique topics related to female athletes make it an important contribution to the field." -Carol Federiuk, MD PhD (Oregon Health and Science University) for Doody's Review Service
