Rezensionen / Stimmen
A unique perspective on the care of common fractures of the immature skeleton. . . makes efficient use of tables. . . one of the strongest points of the text is the number of clearly depicted and concisely described radiographs of each of the injuries. . . Physicians [and] physical therapists that treat an active younger population will find this text a valuable resource'' -- Journal of Orthopedic & Sports Physical Therapy
''Well illustrated with superior quality radiographs, drawings, and summary sections. . . Highly recommended for all orthopedists and traumatologists caring for children with musculoskeletal injuries.'' -- Doody's Review Journal
''An abundantly illustrated textbook...a masterpiece that deserves a place in the libraries of all pediatric emergency departments, and it will also be of major interest to all professionals.''
-- European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology "This book is an excellent and complete study of pediatric fractures and dislocations. Each kind of trauma is well studied and illustrated. The real value of this very good book is in the numerous illustrations of clinical situations and the special pediatric physio-pathological explanations...everyone who wishes to treat trauma in children and all orthopedic surgery students should read it."--Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy
''A well-written book...a distinct asset." -- Acta Orthopaedica
"An outstanding resource and a very practical guidebook for physicians who do not practice exclusively pediatric orthopedics. Illustrations...are outstanding. This clinical "cookbook" wil help you in your everyday practice and will stimulate you to aim at an optimal functional and cosmetic result with the simplest treatment." --Acta Orthopaedica Belgica
"An informative text...would be a useful addition to those accident and emergency departments and radiology departments reporting pediatric injuries. It is of particular value for the diagnosis and management of common upper and lower limb traumatic injuries. ...It would certainly provide a useful tool to aid interpretation."--RAD Magazine
