Reviews

Doody's Book Review Service, 01-SEP-06, Edward Abraham, MD, University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine, Chicago, IL -- As one who has spent over 25 years caring for children with pediatric orthopedic problems, I fully see the need and importance of a textbook that focuses on problem prevention. The avoidance of serious complications with permanent disability associated with spine surgery, neglected hip infections, growth plate injuries, etc., in a growing child are most important considerations. I strongly recommend this most useful and refreshing work to all orthopedists caring for children. -Doody's Book Review Service (Weighted Numerical Score: 92; 4 Stars) Ambulatory Pediatrics, 15-NOV-06, Volume 6, Issue 6, Ronald V. Marino, DO, MPH, Winthrop University Hospital Program, Mineola, NY -- The general clinician will find excellent chapters on the orthopedic exam, dealing with families (so thoughtful that it could have been written by a pediatrician), newborn orthopedics, pediatric athletes, infections, scoliosis, and bow legs and turned in feet. These titles are the vanguard of a complete offering that contains information from the esoteric to the every day...This book is written for clinicians and is chock full of pearls and wisdom. -Ambulatory Pediatrics
