Court Casualties

The fastest-growing sport in the retirement belt filled orthopedic waiting rooms with its enthusiasm — pickleball injuries are the price of a game that convinces sedentary bodies they are twenty-five again.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts cover the epidemiology in the first person: Achilles ruptures mid-lunge, wrist fractures from falls the court didn't forgive, rotator cuffs and knees objecting to sudden tournaments, and the ER-to-rehab-to-return pipeline narrated by people desperate to get back on court. Writers include the warm-up religions adopted after injury, eccentric calf work as scripture, doubles chosen over singles as a peace treaty with age, and the joyful stubbornness of players who returned anyway.

Who it's for

For anyone playing through their fifties and beyond, rehabbing a pickleball souvenir, or trying to keep a beloved game from writing orthopedic history.
