This is the first volume in the LWW Orthopaedic Surgery
Essentials Series, designed for orthopaedic surgery residents’
rotations and for general orthopaedists and primary care
practitioners. The book presents the essential information
needed to evaluate and initiate treatment on a child’s
orthopaedic problem.
It can be easily read cover to cover during a one or two month
rotation or used for quick reference immediately before
evaluating a patient.
The user friendly format features ample visual aids, including
treatment algorithms, bulleted lists, charts, tables, and
illustrations. The table of contents reflects the venue in which
disorders are usually first encountered - at outpatient clinic,
A & E department, or speciality clinic.
