Written by two authorities in pediatric orthopaedics, this book is a complete, practical, and highly illustrated guide to handling difficult orthopaedic problems in children. In an engaging and informal style, the authors offer advice for avoiding pitfalls in diagnosing and treating the full range of musculoskeletal disorders, including trauma, orthopaedic infections, bone and soft tissue tumors, skeletal dysplasias, neuromuscular conditions, congenital syndromes, problems in pediatric athletes, and conditions of the spine, hip, leg, and foot.
Throughout the book are guest appearances by "gurus," the leading experts and mentors in pediatric orthopaedics, presenting essential unique tips on handling the special needs of children. To facilitate easy access for the busy clinician, information is provided in boxes and bulleted lists containing summary points, complications to avoid, surgical steps, and treatment recommendations by age. More than 600 illustrations complement the text.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Doody's Book Review Service, 01-SEP-06, Edward Abraham, MD, University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine, Chicago, IL -- "As one who has spent over 25 years caring for children with pediatric orthopedic problems, I fully see the need and importance of a textbook that focuses on problem prevention. The avoidance of serious complications with permanent disability associated with spine surgery, neglected hip infections, growth plate injuries, etc., in a growing child are most important considerations. I strongly recommend this most useful and refreshing work to all orthopedists caring for children."-Doody's Book Review Service (Weighted Numerical Score: 92; 4 Stars) Ambulatory Pediatrics, 15-NOV-06, Volume 6, Issue 6, Ronald V. Marino, DO, MPH, Winthrop University Hospital Program, Mineola, NY -- "The general clinician will find excellent chapters on the orthopedic exam, dealing with families (so thoughtful that it could have been written by a pediatrician), newborn orthopedics, pediatric athletes, infections, scoliosis, and bow legs and turned in feet. These titles are the vanguard of a complete offering that contains information from the esoteric to the every day...This book is written for clinicians and is chock full of pearls and wisdom."-Ambulatory Pediatrics
