Growth of the Pediatric Skeleton: A Primer for Radiologists

The book is an organized approach to understanding bone growth and
disease. It integrates anatomic and radiologic knowledge of
enchondral and membranous bone growth and emphasizes the similarities
of the physis and acrophysis in development. While mainly written for
trainees in radiology, pediatrics & orthopedics, it will also be
useful to practitioners in these fields. The artwork, jointly
produced by artist and author, illustrates the concepts being
promulgated. The identification of abnormality is aided by the
explanations of the causes in terms of pattern recognition.
