About this book

The book presents a problem-based, rational approach to the diagnosis of orthopaedic problems in children. It is divided into four sections based on the age at which specific problems may be encountered; the newborn and infant, the toddler and the pre-school child, the child in the school-going age and the adolescent. The authors outline a systematic approach to arrive at a tentative diagnosis by asking relevant questions related to the presenting symptom and then performing a thorough clinical examination. They then suggest the most appropriate investigations to confirm the diagnosis. Each chapter deals with the common conditions that may lead to the problem; the rarer causes of the problem are listed at the end. This feature would make the book a practical manual and a high quality reference source. An important feature of the book is the number and quality of illustrations and video clips in the electronic version.

Reviews

“This book presents a systematic approach to diagnosing orthopedic disorders in children. … This book serves an important educational need in the training of medical staff by discussing the correct approach to diagnosing orthopedic disorders in children. I highly recommend it to any medical professional who is interested in learning an effective and comprehensive method to diagnose these disorders in children.” (Edward M. Abraham, Doody’s Book Reviews, October, 2015)
