Edited by Jesse C. Delee and David Drez. 2034 pp. in two volumes, illustrated. Philadelphia, W.B. Saunders, 1994. $250. ISBN 0-7216-2836-2.

This two-volume work is an unparalleled, comprehensive bible for orthopedic surgeons. Its 112 contributors make up the "dream team" of sports medicine. The first 400-odd pages cover the important areas of musculoskeletal basic science, statistics on injuries, biomechanics, principles and techniques of rehabilitation, nutrition, pharmacology in sports, the female athlete, and sudden cardiac arrest. All these chapters are well organized and well written, with extensive bibliographies. Although I doubt that most orthopedists would read every word of this section, it is a terrific repository of knowledge for reference purposes. It will also enlighten nonorthopedic team physicians and other sports-medicine enthusiasts.
