Synopsis

ABC of Common Soft Tissue Disorders

Soft tissue problems are very common, with one in four people at any one time suffering with a musculoskeletal disorder. ABC of Common Soft Tissue Disorders is a practical, fully illustrated guide to their assessment and treatment.

Structured by body part, each chapter provides guidance on assessment, treatment and management, and covers common conditions such as sprains and strains, tendinopathy, ligament injuries and sciatica. With particular focus on shoulders, back and knee problems (reflecting the frequency and complexity of problems in these parts of the body), it provides guidance on the essential history and examination required to reach an accurate diagnosis.

Written by an expert author team, ABC of Common Soft Tissue Disorders is important reading for all general practitioners, nurse practitioners, junior doctors and medical students working in a range of settings, including emergency and minor injury departments, as well as in orthopaedics and rheumatology.
