Collection Sports and Traumas Supervised by Philippe Landreau
People, whatever their age, keep practicing sports, and consequently, injuries resulting from sports practice have become more and more specific, which accounts for a new field to be highly considered. Indeed, each joint or part of the body can suffer from any kind of injury. Moreover, each sport has its own specific lesions. This is why Sports and Injury Collection insists on developing each topic according to the sport practiced. This documentation is addressed to all readers, doctors, surgeons, or physicians looking for information about injuries and treatments. This collection is co-published by the French Society of Sports Traumas (FSST) and the European Federation of National Associations of Orthopaedic sports Traumatology (EFOST).
