Infos

Now in a completely revised and updated second edition, this comprehensive and generously illustrated text highlights both general principles and specific strategies for managing the spectrum of pediatric lower limb deformities. It is divided thematically into five sections, though any chapter can stand on its own to guide the clinician in specific situations. Part I covers general principles and techniques, including etiology, clinical evaluation, imaging as well as different surgical methods. Part II, covering related concepts and management options, discusses soft tissue contractures, amputations and working in austere and resource-challenged settings. Underlying conditions comprise Part III - specific metabolic, neuromuscular and tumor-related conditions, along with arthrogryposis, osteogenesis imperfecta and various skeletal dysplasias. Part IV presents congenital and developmental disorders, such as congenital femoral deficiency, hemimelias, tibial pseudoarthrosis and Blount disease, while Part V rounds out the book with chapters on sequelae related to different etiologies and their treatment.

New to this edition is the inclusion of invited commentary from additional experts, adding further context and clinical pearls. Additionally, ten new chapters have been added, including some that are completely rewritten by different authors and other chapters that cover new themes such as patient reported outcome measures, setting up a limb deformity practice, pin site care and management of bone defects.

Covering all aspects of the management of pediatric lower limb deformities in different practice settings, and written by internationally renowned experts in the field, this new edition of Pediatric Lower Limb Deformities continues to be an invaluable resource for orthopedic surgeons and trainees worldwide.
