Publisher's Synopsis
An essential reference for busy primary care physicians and other providers. This updated third edition retains the features that made the first and second editions such a popular text. Specifically designed to consolidate available knowledge into a simplified, concise, and meaningful approach to pediatric orthopedic conditions. Not intended as an encyclopedic compendium of differential diagnoses, but rather as a useful handbook that attempts to crystallize in concise form the characterization of a given condition. Written in an unconventional fashion, with material organized by frequency or rarity by which conditions will be encountered in a practice situation, and by age at which the conditions would most commonly present for medical attention. Richly illustrated throughout with many radiographs and line drawings to supplement the text. Written specifically for residents and practitioners in pediatrics and family practice, this volume will help doctors provide the optimal care for these patients.
