Skeletal trauma in children

de Neil E. Green, Marc F. Swiontkowski

Provides information on the advanced analysis and recommendation for all musculoskeletal injuries in children. With a focus on pertinent information rather than historical background, 17 chapters cover skeletal growth and development as related to trauma, physical injuries, pathologic fractures, multiple injuries, fractures with soft tissue injuries, complications and outcomes, and fractures of various parts of the body. Two new chapters address anesthesia and analgesia for ambulatory management, and rehabilitation of the child with multiple injuries. Extensively illustrated with b&w images and drawings.
