Provides orthopaedic surgeons with up to date information on the treatment of paediatric fractures and avoidance of complications.Complete chapter dedicated to paediatric spine trauma and the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate management.The treatment of fractures in children and adolescents has evolved rapidly over the past
several years. There is a greater understanding of the epidemiology and natural history
of fractures, the cost and economic impact of these injuries on the child and family, and a
realization that not all fractures in children heal uneventfully. As a result, there has been a rapid expansion in the breadth and depth of knowledge pertaining to pediatric fractures and their treatments.
Further, there are increasing efforts to improve quality/safety, to lower costs and also increasing demands in the time of those who treat injuries in growing individuals, making it difficult to stay up-to date with the current treatment of these injuries. There is a need, therefore, for a current, concise yet thorough text on fractures in children and adolescents.The editors, Martin J Herman and B David Horn are experienced pediatric orthopedic surgeons with a high level of expertise in pediatric musculoskeletal trauma. They have assembled a group of contributors who are leaders in their subject areas and have produced a text that fulfills the need for an up-to-date and practical textbook on pediatric orthopedic trauma in children and adolescents.
