William L. Risser, MD

Professor of Pediatrics, University of Texas Medical School-Houston, 6655 Travis Street, Suite 570, Houston, TX 77030

Weight use may cause significant musculoskeletal injury. This review summarizes for the clinician the best available information on injury risks and prevention.
