"An important contribution to the education of residents in pediatric orthopedics. Its clinical decision-making approach is original and can be applied to other orthopedic subspecialties... I wish that all orthopedic trainees could get a hold of this book, because it will make them better orthopedists. The internationally known authors, senior pediatric orthopedists, are to be congratulated for producing a superior book." —Edward Abraham, M.D.(University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine), Doody's Book Review ServicePraise for the first edition:"This is a very good book ... and worth every penny."—Scottish Medical Journal"… easy to dip into, with heavy use of illustrations, radiographs and line drawings to make topics clear…"—Association of Surgeons in Training Yearbook"This is a very salutary book, a major work which will become a very valuable tool for every orthopaedic trainee and young orthopaedic surgeon."—Springer"[The book] rationally evaluates a disorder and then proceeds to outline a management strategy with the emphasis on the author's personal experience. I very highly recommend this work to all orthopedists caring for children, including trainees. It also can serve as an excellent reference for pediatricians and therapists."—Edward Abraham in Doody's Book Review Service
