Summary:
"Since the 7th edition of Lovell and Winter's Pediatric Orthopaedics, there have been innumerable advances and changes in standard of care in many areas: clubfoot, hip dysplasia and the adolescent hip, limb deformity, slipped capital femoral epiphysis, pediatric sports medicine, spinal deformity, musculoskeletal oncology, infection, and upper extremity disorders. Trauma care continues to change, becoming increasingly more operative and achieving better results with more rapid mobilization. Finally, pain and pain management are front-page issues almost daily. This topic and the increased importance of amplified pain syndromes in children as well as the worldwide opiate crises have prompted us to add the must-read chapter Pain Management in Pediatric Orthopaedics to this edition. With respect to the surgical techniques, a new feature in this edition is that figures showing how to perform a surgery or do a procedure are grouped together under a descriptive heading, are identified as Procedure Figures, and have highly descriptive legends so that the reader does not have to flip back and forth between text and figures to understand what is being shown. These standout sections provide detailed, atlas-like walk-throughs that make for both useful introductions to techniques or handy refreshers before procedures"-- Provided by publisher.
