Philosophy of the treatment of athletes.
There is a proliferation of sports medicine physicians whose training is largely in the management of such athletically debilitating conditions as knee ligament and meniscus tears. Physicians with responsibility for the management of the full spectrum of sports-related conditions, including upper extremity injuries, may actually be a disservice to the athlete who may receive less than expert care for his or her injured wrist or hand.
