Smith's Recognizable Patterns of Human Deformation 4/e

Smith's Recognizable Patterns of Human Deformation is the only book devoted to the diagnosis and management of birth
defects resulting from mechanical forces in late gestation. It equips you with the evidenced-based guidance you need to
intervene in a timely and effective manner to avoid long-term adverse secondary consequences.
Guides you through the initial clinical approach to suspected deformation problems, and then walks you through
pathogenesis, diagnostic features, management, prognosis, and counseling for each condition.
Addresses a full range of lower extremity deformations · joint dislocations · nerve palsies · chest and spinal
deformations · head and neck deformations · craniosynostoses and cranial bone variations · problems associated with
abnormal birth presentation, birth palsies, and procedure-related defects · infant head shape variations and
torticollis.
Helps you to distinguish deformations from malformations so you can manage them appropriately.
