Excellent resource!4
This book is a comprehensive and very useful reference written by experts in the treatment of elbow injuries. It has a very complete section on sports medicine injuries and is up to date regading new techniques. Despite the title, there are excellent discussions of nonoperative treatment and rehabilitation of the disorders covered. Excellent coverage of the anatomy and physical exam of the elbow. Great illustrations! The book would be of value to surgeons and medical students alike.
