Description
The Orthopedic Knowledge Update series has long been the foundational source of efficient review for all aspects of orthopedic surgery. This book covers the subspecialty of sports medicine. Responding to an ever-changing field, the series is continually updated and this fifth edition of the OKU in sports medicine is a timely, thorough, well-written update.
Purpose
This is exactly what the title suggests. It is not a comprehensive book on the subject, but rather an efficient and thorough update that assumes some basic knowledge and then discusses updates in orthopedic sports medicine. The print version has long been the go-to review source for residents in training and orthopedic practitioners for recertification preparation. The addition of a video supplement provides more depth and visualization of various techniques discussed in the book. However, they are bonus material and not essential to the substance of the review, so users lose nothing if they choose not to take advantage of the website.
Audience
The target audience is obviously orthopedic surgeons looking for an update or review of the topic. The book will be essential for orthopedic residents, orthopedic sports medicine fellows, and orthopedic sports physicians preparing for recertification. However, any orthopedic surgeon who wishes to stay current and update their knowledge in orthopedic sports medicine can benefit. When AAOS sought to update the edition targeting sports, they asked the most prestigious educator in sports medicine (Mark Miller) to take the helm as editor. In turn, Dr. Miller selected an elite group of chapter authors who have done a wonderful job of creating a most valuable update.
Features
The book is divided into sections covering upper extremity, hip and pelvis, knee and leg, rehabilitation, head and spine, medical issues, the young athlete, miscellaneous, and imaging. Each chapter is followed by a series of key references with a one or two-line addendum explaining why the reference is important.
Assessment
Ultimately, the OKU series and this sports medicine update is an absolute necessity for the institutional orthopedic library as well as the individual library of orthopedic residents, fellows in training, and orthopedic surgeons preparing for certification or recertification examination. The editor and his contributors should be commended for creating an impressive update that will make an impact for thousands of orthopedic surgeons who are trying to stay current or prepare for certification/recertification examinations.
