Review :
"A high-quality, well-illustrated, and efficient text." - JBJS, review of the last edition
"This current and well written book covers all important aspects of pediatric orthopedic trauma. I strongly recommend it to all orthopedists caring for children, as well as orthopedic residents and pediatric orthopedic fellows.Emergency room physicians, pediatricians, and other primary care doctors can make use of this excellent resource."- Doody's Review
"This book is easy to read and contains everything that a paediatric orthopaedic surgeon or a senior trainee would require for the management of skeletal trauma. It is ideal for day to day practice and is certainly well referenced."
