S.P. Mironov, M.B. Tsykunov. Fundamentals of rehabilitation of athletes and ballet dancers with injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system (M., 1998)

The publication of the book under review should be considered very timely: until now only translated editions were published on this problem, as a rule, intended for coaches and physicians of sports teams. At the same time, the pathology of musculoskeletal system of sportsmen and ballet dancers is studied by orthopedists-traumatologists, who, even if they are familiar with the specifics of surgical treatment of this contingent of patients, most of them have no clear idea of how rehabilitation process should proceed, what rehabilitation actions can be, what are general indications and contraindications for application of any means of rehabilitation.
