I became aware of Luke Bucci's great work summarizing Nutrition applied to injury rehabilitation and sports medicine in the 1990's when he first released it. I have applied this information for my own sports injuries, those of the athletes I have worked with and with family and friends undergoing surgery or recovering from accidental trauma or chronic damage to joints.His information is top-notch and has stood the test of time in all instances. I wish he were required reading for every trainer, orthopedist, PT, OT and anyone else who works with athletes or helps people heal from injuries. It would save everyone a lot of pain, and help to speed up their recovery time, as well as help them regain more function than the typical treatment course delivers.
