Lovell And Winter S Pediatric Orthopaedics

Recommended in the Brandon/Hill selected list of print books and journals for the small medical library - April 2001 & 2003 Now in its updated Fifth Edition, this classic text remains a must-have for physicians and residents treating infants, children, or adolescents with orthopaedic problems. The foremost orthopaedists examine normal musculoskeletal development and the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of the entire range of abnormalities, with special emphasis on evidence-based decision making in the selection of treatment. As Dr. Morrissy writes in the preface, "Presentation of evidence-based decision-making forces us to admit what we don't know and to try to better understand why we do what we do." This edition also keeps abreast of the explosion of clinically-relevant basic science information, particularly genetics. An important new chapter in this edition examines the processes of growth in relation to orthopaedic disease and treatment. Discussions of surgical procedures are cross-referenced to individual procedures in the Atlas of Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery, Third Edition, so that readers can quickly find step-by-step, illustrated technical instructions. A CD-ROM containing both the atlas and the text is available. The textbook, atlas, and CD-ROM can be purchased together as a money-saving package.

This is the first volume in a two volume set, which together will provide guidance from the leaders in the field on the decision-making process which governs choice of treatment of paediatric orthopaedic diseases and conditions. Normal and abnormal states are examined.
