Description
Developmental biology of normal bone and cartilage including histogenesis, molecular/gene and biomechanical aspects is updated and expanded. The book outlines the biology of: bone repair with differing mechanical environments; cartilage repair at articular and physeal sites; and distraction osteogenesis. The generously illustrated text provides an in-depth presentation of the interplay between normal developmental biology, abnormal pathologic states and the influence of operative and non-operative orthopedic interventions on childhood orthopedic deformity. Thirty-four principles underlying the development, progression and management of skeletal deformity in the growing child are defined. Orthopedic management including surgical treatment is discussed for: skeletal dysplasias; epiphyseal growth plate fracture-separations; lower extremity length discrepancies; and deformities of joints and epiphyses due to metabolic, inflammatory, infectious, hematologic, and neoplastic disorders. Treatments are related to extent of deformity, remodeling post-surgery and possible recurrence.
Reviews
“This book covers child and adolescent orthopedic disorders in a different way. The purpose is to present a system to accurately diagnose and briefly recommend treatment options using clinical and supplementary assessment tools. The audience is mainly primary care physicians and allied medical professionals such as physical and occupational therapists, medical students and trainees in orthopedics, and those preparing for orthopedic qualifying examinations. … I highly recommend this book to interested readers.” (Edward Abraham, Doody’s Book Reviews, September, 2017)
