This much-needed reference serves as your best source for up-to-date, organized information on stress fractures. Written by three leading authorities in this area, Stress Fractures covers the pathophysiology, epidemiology, risk factors, and treatment associated with these injuries.
The reference provides both theory about development of stress fractures and practical management of the various types and sites of stress fractures. It is an essential reference for all clinicians involved in the diagnosis, prescription, and management of these injuries.
Authors Peter Brukner, Kim Bennell, and Gordon Matheson draw together their extensive knowledge base and expertise to provide current and comprehensive information about the subject.
The pathophysiology and epidemiology of stress fractures are covered in the first two chapters. A general overview of diagnosis and treatment of stress fractures is provided in the following two chapters. In the concluding chapters, the management of specific stress fractures is described in detail for the upper limb, the trunk, the pelvis and thigh, the lower leg, and the foot and ankle.
Recent advances in nuclear isotope scans, CT scans, and MRI have enabled stress fractures to be detected and identified much more easily. Stress Fractures pulls together the important information on the topic and offers a valuable, practical guide to risk factors and treatment options for this increasingly prevalent type of injury.
This book is published by Blackwell Science and is not available from Human Kinetics in Australia.

As an increasing amount of research on mechanical loading, exercise, and bone health becomes available, there is a growing need to synthesize and clarify the rapidly evolving information. No other resource fills this need better than the timely Physical Activity and Bone Health—the first book of its kind to examine effective exercise as it contributes to bone health. 
This text is written for all “students” of the human movement sciences with an interest in skeletal structure and function. It compiles a wealth of research literature—from the earliest to the most recent studies—making it a time-saving and essential resource. 
Physical Activity and Bone Health was written by six highly acclaimed authorities in the field, which adds tremendously to its value. Only in this book will you gain access to such broad and balanced perspectives and a diverse knowledge base. 
Emphasizing exercise and its effect on bone, the book's sections–which can be read in any order–contain current information on these topics: 
-Basic anatomy and physiology of the structure and function of bone
-Factors other than exercise that influence bone
-Exercising to maintain a healthy skeleton from childhood through old age
-The role of exercise in preventing perimenopausal bone loss
-Medical issues of bone deterioration 
-Questions that require further research In addition, one section of the book is devoted to practical exercise prescriptions for different stages of life—from childhood and adolescence to adulthood and the elderly years. The exercise prescriptions are safe and effective and can be used by professionals in physical activity, health, and bone fields as a way to optimize bone health.
Physical Activity and Bone Health is richly supported with illustrations, more than 850 references, and 20 chapters that stand alone or can be read together for a comprehensive picture.
For those who wish to explore the frontiers of bone health, Physical Activity and Bone Health is a handy and trusted guide.
