Wolters Kluwer, a global provider of information and point of care solutions for the healthcare industry, in partnership with the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), has announced the release of Spine Injuries in Athletes, a comprehensive reference book that covers the treatment of spine injuries in athletes. Edited by Dr. Andrew C. Hecht, a member of the NFL Brain and Spine Committee and Chief of Spine Surgery for the Mount Sinai Health System, the book offers advice from leading experts on how to manage a variety of on field injuries with surgical, non-surgical, and rehabilitation plans tailored to specific sports.
Spine injuries are the most feared injuries by athletes as they can end careers or result in long-lasting health problems. Spine Injuries in Athletes examines the full timeline of care —from the point of injury on the field to diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and return to play. The book includes over an hour of on-field simulation videos highlighting what to look for when assessing a spinal injury, what to do and how to do it; case studies to illustrate key clinical points; and return-to-play guidelines for almost all clinical scenarios.
Contributors to Spine Injuries in Athletes are leaders in their fields, representing a wide range of specialties including sports medicine, athletic training, spine surgery, neurosurgery, orthopaedic surgery and more. These include: Dr. H. Hunt Batjer; Dr. Andrew B. Dossett; Dr. Richard G. Ellenbogen; Dr. Wellington K. Hsu; Dr. Steven C. Ludwig; Dr. Alexander R. Vaccaro; and Dr. Robert G. Watkins IV. Other contributors include Ronnie Barnes of the New York Giants and members of the NFL Brain and Spine Committee.
Spine Injuries in Athletes is available for pre-order now. It will be available for purchase on March 3rd.
