Organized by body part, each chapter provides advice on diagnosis, treatment and management and covers conditions such as sprains and strains, tendinopathy, ligament injuries and sciatica. It focuses specifically on shoulder, back, and knee problems (given the frequency and severity of these problems in the body) and provides important information on history taking and pain examination that are necessary to arrive at the correct diagnosis. Written by a team of expert authors, The ABCs of Soft Tissue Disorders is essential reading for all doctors, specialists, junior doctors and medical students working in various fields including emergency medicine, minor surgery, orthopedics and rheumatology.
