Practice of Pediatric Orthopedics - 9781582558189

For the second edition of this text, Staheli (orthopedics, U. of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle) is joined by eight co-authors, each a recognized expert in their fields. Now designed for a wider audience--general orthopedists, residents, pediatricians, physical therapists, and students--the text provides a practical guide to current, clinically-proven, mainstream, whole child-oriented management recommendations for musculoskeletal problems in children. The text has been updated and expanded throughout; topic discussion and procedures have been consolidated; the upper limb and hand chapters have been separated and expanded: and the entire publication has been reformatted into a compact, efficient design illustrated with 2,300-plus full- color and b&w photographs, diagrams, tables and charts.
