2007 BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION MEDICAL BOOK AWARDS ORTHOPAEDICS AND RHEUMATOLOGY CATEGORY

Highly Commended ? Clinical Sports Medicine with Clinical Sports Medicine DVD 3e, Brukner & Khan

`A previously good textbook has just got better! I particularly like the colour coding for chapters. Sections have been updated by experts in the individual topic areas. The new illustrations are used to demonstrate principles and example exercises. Brilliant: it is difficult to praise this book highly enough as it is an excellent textbook. The new illustrations, updated sections and use of eminent sports medicine specialists as co-authors help to reassure that every effort has been made to improve this book.? BMA REVIEWER QUOTE 2007
