Pediatric Skeletal Trauma | Ingo Marzi, Johannes Frank, Stefan Rose

This book provides all the knowledge needed to treat injuries to the pediatric extremities, spine, and pelvis. It aims to enable age-appropriate diagnosis and optimal treatment selection, with particular consideration of the current developmental age of an injured child. A general overview section presents the features of skeletal growth, growth plate fusion, and the concept of non-growth-damaging treatment of pediatric fractures. The well-structured specialized chapters detail the characteristics of individual injuries with corresponding case studies. Thus, the book offers a learning opportunity but can also be used as a practical daily reference to facilitate orientation. Three chapters focus on options for the correction of injuries that have healed poorly. The book offers exceptional value through:-Classifications of fracturesand injuriesSchematic drawings of typicalfractures with developmental characteristicsStructured overview tables forall regions of injury with representation of the fracture types and theircharacteristic radiographsPresentation of conservative and operative treatment options and illustration of all typical situations
