Overview
Provides an in-depth, up-to-date presentation of normal development bone and cartilage biology and its relationship to the abnormalities of development that lead to childhood orthopedic deformity
Unites the fields of pathology of deformity and current orthopedic treatment by defining disorders from their earliest development to their final states
Designed to provide the clinician with a clear picture of the unique interplay between normal developmental biology and abnormal pathologic states

About this book
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.
This 2nd edition of Pediatric Orthopedic Deformities has been expanded to cover more regions and disorders and is being presented in 3 volumes.
Reviews
“This is an outstanding comprehensive text, atlas and encyclopedia of cartilaginous, bone, and joint diseases in children and adolescents. … I recommend this book to all residents and fellows working in orthopaedic surgery.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, March, 2016)
