This issue of Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery is focused on the diagnosis and treatment of sports-related foot and ankle injuries. A variety of topics from acute osseous and soft tissue injuries to overuse lower extremity injuries and rehabilitation are very well covered by our guest editor, Dr Langer, and invited authors. Special attention is emphasized in treating the competitive athlete as well as the physically active older individuals and aging athletes. In this issue, the guest editor, Dr Langer, and the invited authors have done an excellent job in addressing some of the most common podiatric sports medicine pathologies that can be used as a great reference to our readers.
