Review Quotes

From the reviews:

"This book focuses on sports injuries of the foot and succeeds in both covering the most common injuries and reviewing the gamut of how to treat these common injuries from office to operating room to rehabilitation. ... The target audience is quite broad, including athletic trainers, physical therapists, primary care sports medicine physicians, orthopedic surgeons, podiatrists, and any practitioners who treat foot injuries or holistically care for athletes." (Mark R. Hutchinson, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2014)
