The Brain, Spine and Nerves in Sports (Videos Only)

In sports, brain injuries are frequently the most severe and potentially fatal, even though musculoskeletal injuries are by far the more frequent. Neurosurgeons Nicholas Theodore and Russell R. Lonser, who are globally recognized authorities in brain and spine injuries associated with sports, are the editors of the extensive textbook The Brain, Spine, and Nerves in Sports. With first-hand, cooperative insights from a who’s who of interdisciplinary neurological experts in sports injury care, the book discusses the complexities involved in diagnosing and treating neurological problems related to sports.

The book’s 40 carefully chosen chapters and four parts cover diagnostic, nonsurgical and surgical treatment options, and management of spinal cord injuries, peripheral nerve injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and concussions. Using concussion data to enhance American football safety is the main topic of the last chapter. Every chapter combines case stories, theoretical understanding, evidence-based procedures, and useful insights from the writers’ vast clinical backgrounds.
