This revised and extended new edition retains the features that made the first edition (Churchill Livingstone, 1993) such a popular text for pediatricians and primary care physicians. Orthopaedic disorders are arranged according to age of onset and also according to their frequency of occurrence. This is supplemented by helpful guidelines for orthopedic referral. Distilling a vast wealth of the authors' experience, the book provides a concise and readable account of all the main pediatric orthopedic complications and is supplemented with helpful "pearl" boxes to highlight salient features of the given disorder.
