This fully revised and updated pediatric companion to SKELETAL TRAUMA, 3rd Edition, presents the most advanced techniques for managing musculoskeletal injuries in children and adolescents – emphasizing the epidemiology, mechanisms, management, and challenges unique to this population. Internationally recognized authors present coverage of growth and development, pathology, complications, child abuse, and almost every possible injury from head to foot. This 3rd Edition includes the newly developed technique of using flexible intramedullary nails in the management of fractures to the femur and tibia. A new chapter on anesthesia provides a broader perspective on surgical management.
