This book provides all the knowledge needed to treat injuries to the pediatric extremities, spine, and pelvis. It aims to enable age-appropriate diagnosis and optimal treatment selection, with particular consideration of the current developmental age of an injured child. A general overview section presents the features of skeletal growth, growth plate fusion, and the concept of non-growth-damaging treatment of pediatric fractures.
The well-structured specialized chapters detail the characteristics of individual injuries with corresponding case studies. Thus, the book offers a learning opportunity but can also be used as a practical daily reference to facilitate orientation. Three chapters focus on options for the correction of injuries that have healed poorly. The book offers exceptional value through:
- Classifications of fractures and injuries
- Schematic drawings of typical fractures with developmental characteristics
- Structured overview tables for all regions of injury with representation of the fracture types and their characteristic radiographs
- Presentation of conservative and operative treatment options and illustration of all typical situations
