Description
In the last few years it has become increasingly evident that neurological problems play an important role in orthopaedic practice. These problems are often complex and difficult to treat; they are often multiple and affect different regions of the body in individual patients. This book aims to present the orthopaedic management of neuromuscular diseases and to pinpoint its place in the overall management of these patients, as well as the orthopaedic treatment of secondary deformities affecting the upper limbs, spine, hips, knees and feet. It will be of interest to neurologists and paediatricians, as well as to orthopaedic surgeons.
