"The intended audience is team physicians and all clinicians who treat athletes. ... Overall, this is an excellent resource to learn more about the evaluation and management of hip and groin pain in athletes. ... It is well written and contains high-quality graphics that enhance its educational value. There are only a few other books that focus solely on this area of sports medicine, so it is indeed a welcome addition to the available literature on this subject."
