ABSTRACT
The “Medical issues in basketball” chapter highlights the common injuries experienced within basketball and also includes some of the less common but interesting injuries that the author has observed and treated. The chapter provides detailed information on the assessment and management of tendon, ligament and bony injuries with key examples cited supported by an evidence-based approach. As the role of a graduate sports therapist is all encompassing, the chapter also includes sections on recovery and hydration from a performance and injury perspective.
