Review
 Doody's Book Review Service, 01-SEP-06, Edward Abraham, MD, University
of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine, Chicago, IL --  "As one who
has spent over 25 years caring for children with pediatric orthopedic
problems, I fully see the need and importance of a textbook that focuses
on problem prevention. The avoidance of serious complications with
permanent disability associated with spine surgery, neglected hip
infections, growth plate injuries, etc., in a growing child are most
important considerations. I strongly recommend this most useful and
refreshing work to all orthopedists caring for children."-Doody's Book
Review Service (Weighted Numerical Score: 92; 4 Stars)   Ambulatory
Pediatrics, 15-NOV-06, Volume 6, Issue 6, Ronald V. Marino, DO, MPH,
Winthrop University Hospital Program, Mineola, NY -- "The general
clinician will find excellent chapters on the orthopedic exam, dealing
with families (so thoughtful that it could have been written by a
pediatrician), newborn orthopedics, pediatric athletes, infections,
scoliosis, and bow legs and turned in feet. These titles are the
vanguard of a complete offering that contains information from the
esoteric to the every day...This book is written for clinicians and is
chock full of pearls and wisdom."-Ambulatory Pediatrics
