ESSENTIAL PAEDIATRIC ORTHOPAEDIC DECISION MAKING A CASE BASED APPROACH (PB 2022) Paperback

This book presents a collection of sixty real-world case reports, offering a focused guide to managing a diverse range of orthopedic problems in children. It provides strategies for deciding on the best treatment plan for various situations, supported by clinical images and guidelines. Each challenging scenario, from a poorly healed leg fracture to a non-healing tibia after surgery, is examined systematically. It includes background information, key physical exam findings, and a series of questions that guide the reader towards the surgical goals and potential treatment options. The surgeon's chosen approach is then detailed, often with illustrations from the operating room, clinic, and X-rays. Most cases include significant follow-up information, demonstrating the rationale behind the surgical decisions, the surgical techniques used, and the importance of careful post-operative care.
