title: Assessment and treatment of basketball injuries.
abstract: In this article, we have discussed acute musculoskeletal injuries, acute exacerbations of illness related to basketball, and preparation for these emergencies. Although the acute nature of the problems require constant diligence on the part of the health care provider, the rewards of good management to the player and to the treating physician make it all worthwhile.
