"an ideal text in order to familiarise oneself with the recommended and preferred techniques""Cutting-edge current surgical techniques combined with rare surgical procedures give this work a special place in the evolution of pediatric orthopedics. Orthopedic surgeons are encouraged to own this important and practical book for its surgical procedure content and nostalgic value."- Edward Abraham, M.D. (University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine) for Doody's Review Service
