It is an honor and a pleasure to introduce the third edition of the popular textbook DeLee & Drez's Orthopaedic Sports Medicine: Principles and Practice. In the preface to the previous edition, we emphasized that the orthopaedic sports specialist must be soundly schooled in a variety of conditions that are not commonly encountered in the day-to-day practice of orthopaedics. We would suggest that with the advent of subspecialty certification in orthopaedic sports medicine, this is even more important today. This textbook, unlike anything else in your library, can help you become properly schooled!
So, what's new in this edition? We have all new chapters, written by experts and leaders in their subspecialty. The contributors have done a fabulous job of reviewing and sharing their experience and the current state of knowledge in their respective fields. For this, we profoundly thank them! We introduce a new 4-color design and format, including full-color intraoperative and clinical images, to this edition. We offer expanded coverage of key topics, including new chapters on arthroscopic principles, allograft tissue, complications in athletes, nutrition, pharmacology, and psychology. We have also asked all contributors to completely update all surgical procedures from ACL reconstruction to cartilage transplantation to the latest arthroscopic shoulder techniques, including labral and rotator cuff repairs. With this edition we have also created a new website that includes the full content of the text, a self-assessment module, links to PubMed, an image library, content updates, and “bonus” video. We would like to recognize and thank our new web editor, Dr. Scott Montgomery, who is already working hard on developing this website. You can access it at www.expertconsult.com
So, this is an exciting new edition. The contributors have done a masterful job. With our new web editor, it will always remain an up-to-date “work in progress.” We are confident that this two-volume treatise will remain the gold standard resource for sports medicine providers. Finally, we offer our sincere appreciation to Kim Murphy, Cathy Carroll, Dan Pepper, Jodi Kaye and all of the staff at Elsevier Science for their unfailing support in producing this third edition of DeLee and Drez!
