Review
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 (BMA News Information 20070927)

Customer Reviews

essential reading
This second edition of the book is much improved, largely due to increased collaboration with sports medicine professionals, mainly from Australia. The chapters are updated and expanded and some new chapters are added. The improvement I liked most was the rehab programs which have been addeed to the text. As a sports physio, I found this invaluable. Essential reading for all involved in sports medicine.

Review of DVD not book!
Most of my fellow reviewers here seem to have missed that they are reviewing the book instead of the DVD, as listed.

I must say I am very disappointed in the DVD. Whilst it has pretty comprehensive review of examinations of the upper limb, in the lower limb only the knee gets any real attention. The hip and ankle are almost completely left out, apart from taping of the latter!

When an area is touched upon it is pretty superficially discussed. Basically there is a quick run through of the examination of that area, but no discussion of the theory accompanying it.

In short, for the areas actually included, this DVD would serve as nothing more than an aide memoire and certainly won't teach you examinations of pat.

It is a shame - the accompanying book is excellent and this DVD had the potential to be an excellent resource for the student sports practitioner.

I hope therefore that the shortcomings are addressed in future editions of this media.

Definitely worth the upgrade from the 2nd edition
Many of us have the 2nd edition (red cover) and feel it is still providing good service. However, I checked inside my old favourite and found that the 2nd edition was written in 2000! How the time flies!

This new edition LOOKS spectacular because of the colour photographs and the lovely artwork. The artist is a real discovery! But what impressed me much more was the amount of new practical material that I can use in my clinic. In the week that I have had this 3rd edition I have noticed that many, many chapters have had major overhauls. So the claim of '6 new chapters' really vastly under-estimates how much new material is in there.

The knee pain, knee injury, Achilles, wrist pain, and longstanding groin chapters are all very very helpful. And it is great to find so many of the leading authors in various field have contributed to this one book.

At over 1000 colour pages it really is terrific value for money and I figured that it will likely last me 5 years. Great value!

I didn't buy a copy of the DVD with physical examination and rehabilitation but my partner did - it is great for students.

All in all a tremendous upgrade, seems more like a new book really. I'm glad I grabbed this copy while in London last week -- apparently copies are still a few weeks away from arriving here in New York.
