Often going unreported or occasionally unnoticed, athletes run the risk of a more serious fracture if untreated. \u003ci\u003eStress Fractures in Athletes\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the presentation, evaluation and treatment of these injuries. Divided into two sections, the first part provides in-depth description of the pathophysiology, epidemiology and biomechanics of stress fractures, as well as a discussion of classification, imaging and some general treatment concepts. The second part expands on treatment and takes each relevant anatomical region into consideration: lumbar spine, pelvis, femur, knee, tibia, upper and lower extremities, and the ribs and shoulder girdle. A chapter on insufficiency fractures, commonly associated with osteopenia and osteoporosis, is also included. As such, \u003ci\u003eStress Fractures in Athletes\u003c\/i\u003e are a comprehensive resource for sports medicine practitioners, orthopedic surgeons, primary care physicians and physical therapists alike.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-08-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319380728\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-09238-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 245\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44395526324364,"sku":"9783319380728","price":116.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319380728_98671518-b7fd-4d6c-a8d1-c60194ffd538.jpg?v=1776772725","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319380728","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
