title: Sports medicine. Overuse injuries. Part 1: bone.
abstract: Musculoskeletal problems have always been a large part of the general practitioner's case load. The development of sports medicine as a separate entity has helped define and increase understanding of these problems, many of which are managed in a general practice environment. This monthly series is designed to improve and update knowledge in this area and provide useful pointers for management.
