Fractures In Children

This exhaustive reference includes new chapters and pedagogical features, as well as—for the first time—content on managing fragility factures. To facilitate fast, easy absorption of the material, this edition has been streamlined and now includes more tables, charts, and treatment algorithms than ever before. Experts in their field share their experiences and offer insights and guidance on the latest technical developments for common orthopaedic procedures, including their preferred treatment options.

For the gold-standard resource on pediatric fractures, reach for Rockwood and Wilkins’ Fractures in Children. Written by leading orthopaedic surgeons from around the world, the revised and expanded 8th edition of this classic bestselling text presents complete, up-to-date coverage of all types of children’s fractures. A must-read for pediatric orthopedic surgeons and orthopedic residents.

With an image-focused, non-traditional layout that differs from most medical textbooks, the fourth edition of Rang’s Children’s Fractures—a classic textbook on children’s fractures for over 40 years—expands to four editors, all faculty members of Rady Children’s Hospital at the University of California, San Diego. This edition maintains the book’s practical, playful style and emphasizes diagnosis, treatment, common pitfalls, and communication with parents and other healthcare professionals.

Fractures are a common finding in children and it is estimated that 2.1% of all children will suffer at least one fracture before the age of 16. With young children in particular, the question may arise if this is related to child abuse. The aim of this book is to help physicians involved in child abuse cases to interpret radiological findings in light of the forensic circumstances under which they occurred. The authors present up-to-date literature related to the mechanisms underlying non-accidental cases of trauma. In this book not only the radiological findings in child-abuse are discussed, but more importantly, these findings are analyzed from a forensic perspective. Careful attention is paid to evidence regarding reported trauma mechanisms and their clinical outcome; for example, can a fall from a couch result in a femoral fracture, and if not, where is the supporting evidence?

Fracture Healing in Children is a review of pediatric osseous modeling and remodeling and is meant to serve as an aid for practitioners in discussion with parents regarding non-operative treatment for pediatric fractures. This book contains over 70 radiographs of fractures in children ranging from 0-18 years old demonstrating the great potential that children have to remodel osseous deformity over time with detailed examples of various bones throughout the body (clavicle, humerus, radius/ulna, femur, tibia/fibula etc). Designed to facilitate consultations with parents who seek reassurance that their child's displaced fracture will heal, Fracture Healing in Children is a visual aid and quick confidence-booster for worried parents. Thoughtfully assembled to significantly reduce consultation time and greatly increase patient confidence in the care team. When Erynn Krasovic began her career in pediatric orthopedics she found that she needed a tool to aid in discussions with anxious parents in regards to their child's fracture appearance and it's potential to remodel appropriately. To that end, she created an informal reference book "Fracture Remodeling" in 2017. David Bennett throughout his career has had a special research interest in the natural history of pediatric fractures and their remodeling potential. In collaboration, they identified a need for such a book in the pediatric orthopedic literature. This is also an educational book great for residents or medical students who wish to know more about the pathophysiology of fracture healing, pediatric anatomy, and physis anatomy/physiology. In addition, this will also serve as a useful reference book for pediatricians and other providers who would like to learn more about pediatric fractures.

The thoroughly revised, updated Seventh Edition of Rockwood and Wilkins' Fractures in Children offers a complete print and multimedia package: the established "gold-standard" reference on pediatric fractures and access to an integrated content website. The world's foremost authorities provide comprehensive coverage of all bone and joint injuries seen in children, thoroughly discuss alternative methods for treating each injury, and present their own preferred methods. This edition has a more international group of contributors, more tips and pearls in the authors' preferred method presentations, and expanded coverage of complications. New chapters cover casting, remodeling and what is unique about children's fractures; principles of physical examination of children with fractures; and treacherous children's fractures. A companion website contains the fully searchable text, an image bank, and videos of the ten most difficult procedures.

The new edition of this comprehensive classic continues the tradition of offering the latest developments in the mechanisms of injury, the biomechanics of fracture reduction, and an understanding of the potential for healing. It correlates anatomy, pathology and radiography of childrens skeletal injuries with a plethora of photographs and line drawings, establishing diagnosis, management, and treatment in a comprehensive and practical manner. Important additions to this edition are an expansive chapter on the management of multiple injuries, the management of complications, extensive discussion of soft tissue injuries following skeletal trauma, new diagnostic techniques, and the use of flaps in childrens injuries. Written by one of the most highly respected names in the orthopaedic community world-wide, this third edition will remain an invaluable resource to paediatric orthopaedic surgeons, general orthopaedic surgeons, emergency room physicians, orthopaedic trauma surgeons and residents and fellows in these specialities.
