Main description:

The new edition of this comprehensive classic continues the tradition of offering the latest developments in the mechanisms of injury, the biomechanics of fracture reduction, and an understanding of the potential for healing. It correlates anatomy, pathology and radiography of childrens skeletal injuries with a plethora of photographs and line drawings, establishing diagnosis, management, and treatment in a comprehensive and practical manner. Important additions to this edition are an expansive chapter on the management of multiple injuries, the management of complications, extensive discussion of soft tissue injuries following skeletal trauma, new diagnostic techniques, and the use of flaps in childrens injuries. Written by one of the most highly respected names in the orthopaedic community world-wide, this third edition will remain an invaluable resource to paediatric orthopaedic surgeons, general orthopaedic surgeons, emergency room physicians, orthopaedic trauma surgeons and residents and fellows in these specialities.
