Summary:
"In this issue of Pediatric Clinics of North America, Dr Haynes and his colleagues have created a wonderful overview of current state-of-the-art approaches to a wide range of pediatric orthopedic issues. The primary emphasis of this issue is on surgical interventions, but the importance of judicious use of surgery informed by other less invasive approaches is emphasized throughout this issue. After reading this issue, pediatric care providers should have an increased understanding of the range of musculoskeletal disorders that may or may not require a surgical approach to resolve and the process of determining the best approach to maximize outcomes and reduce risk. For those requiring surgery, the readers will better understand the reasons for the surgery, what will occur in the surgery, and expected outcomes. The issue is both informative and practical, whether as a general update or to find information about a specific disorder"-- Provided by publisher
