Providing the most current information on injuries to the head and
neck sustained by young athletes, this practical text presents a
thorough review of the complex and emerging issues for youths and
adolescents involved in contact/collision sports. While concussions
are among the most common injuries, fractures of the skull and facial
bones and structural brain injuries can be serious and are discussed
in chapters of their own, as are stingers and other cervical spine and
cord issues and disease. Injuries to the eyes, ears and jaw are
likewise examined. Prevention is a major theme throughout the book, as
seen in chapters on protective head- and neckwear, transportation of
injured players, and sideline response and return-to-play. Head and
Neck Injuries in Young Athletes will be an excellent resource not only
for orthopedists and sports medicine specialists treating growing
athletes, but also specialists and team physicians who are on the
scene at sporting events where these injuries may occur.
