Reviews

From the reviews: "This is a 160-page softcover book on fractures in children. ... The purpose is to provide a reference for residents and practicing orthopedic surgeons on recent concepts on treatment of fractures in children. ... This book contains some information on principles and treatment in a very concise form." (Riad Barmada, Doody's Review Service, December, 2011) "This textbook has been designed to present a concise summary of current techniques in the management of pediatric fractures. The editors state that they have designed the text for residents or for the general orthopedic surgeon who wants to stay current on the latest trends in management. ... Each chapter provides excellent radiographs, with first-rate examples of each fracture discussed. The bibliography for each chapter is fairly comprehensive. The book is easy to read and not overly technical." (Robert Bielski, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 307 (8), February, 2012)
