Abstract
In brief: Over the last decade, an elaborate medical organization has evolved to provide acute care for injured persons at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. The medical team consists of physicians, nurses, podiatrists, physical therapists, athletic trainers, and other nonmedical personnel. The team believes that the most important cause of race injuries is fluid volume depletion; therefore, severely symptomatic athletes are treated early with intravenous fluids. In addition to the medical care team, an ancillary group has been established to maintain medical records, which help to define patterns of injury, thus allowing for more precise planning of medical care. The objective of both groups is not only to improve care at the finish line but also to identify ways to prevent injuries.

The Physician and Sportsmedicine is a peer-reviewed, clinically oriented publication for primary care physicians. We examine the latest drug discoveries to advance treatment and recovery, and take into account the medical aspects of exercise therapy for a given condition. We cover the latest primary care-focused treatments serving the needs of our active patient population, and assess the limits these treatments govern in stabilization and recovery.
The Physician and Sportsmedicine is a peer-to-peer method of communicating the latest research to aid primary care physicians’ advancement in methods of care and treatment.
