Ortopedia pediatrica

Nel trattamento del minore, spesso erroneamente considerato un adulto in miniatura, è necessario un approccio clinico sovente multi specialistico per una valutazione completa di quanto residuato alle lesioni iniziali. Le problematiche insite in questo tipo di valutazione sono i particolari profili di danno di un soggetto debole, quale è il bambino, e le possibili future evoluzioni delle conseguenze menomative. Si tratta sicuramente di un’analisi complessa ed impegnativa sul piano giuridico, sociale e medico legale, alla quale però lo specialista non può sottrarsi, ed a cui gli autori vogliono fornire uno strumento di indagine ed operativo.

L'opera è frutto della del lavoro comune di un gruppo multidisciplinare di esperti - formato da pediatri, radiologi, ortopedic

L'ortopedia pediatrica è una branca fondamentale dell'ortopedia e, allo stesso tempo, rappresenta una parte consistente dell'a

The latest book in the Postgraduate Orthopaedics series brings together the information that every trainee needs to know when faced with paediatric cases in their clinical practice and the FRCS (Tr and Orth) examination. The content is organised according to body regions, with step-by-step guides to common paediatric orthopaedic operations. Practice examination questions help readers test their own understanding, and many clinical photographs, charts and radiographs are included to explain important concepts. The concise, evidence-based chapters are written by practising paediatric orthopaedic surgeons to reflect the core knowledge expected of a newly appointed consultant - the set standard and reference criteria for passing the FRCS (Tr and Orth) - maximising the chances of examination success. This is the essential revision guide for the paediatric component of the FRCS (Tr and Orth), as well as the European Board of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, FRACS (Orth), FRCSC (Orth) and the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery examinations.

Con?rming the British genetic trait for writing and publishing (as well as acting), two English (Oxford and London) and a Scottish orthopaedic surgeon (Edinburgh) have produced a third edition of their comprehensive text, joined, as in the second edition by an editor from Germany, recognizing its part in the European community. The 62 physician contributors are drawn from pink-colored countries in our childhood geography books-the old British Empire from Australia to Zambia and two from the former colony, the USA. The original purpose of the book was to give residents or registrars an easily accessible and concise description of diseases and conditions encountered in the practice of paediatric orthopaedic surgery and to prepare for their examinations. But the practicing orthopaedic s- geon will ?nd an update of current practice that can be read for clarity and constraint-enough but not too much. A foreword might be a preview of things to come, but a "back word" of what was thought to be the ?nal say on the subject is needed for a perspective in progress. A "back word" look reveals the tremendous progress in medical diagnosis and treatment of which paediatric orthopaedics and fracture care is a component. Clubfoot treatment based on the dictums of Hiram Kite has had a revolutionary change by Ponseti. The chapter by Eastwood has the details on cast application and orthotics follow-up to obtain the 95% correction without the extensive surgery many of us thought was needed.

The expanded fracture care and sports sections include newer, less invasive techniques for treating sport and traumatic injuries.
