Reviews

"This is a very good book...[It is] targeted at higher surgical trainees and younger consultants ... and worth every penny.""
—Scottish Medical Journal

"Having used this book for revision for a recent exam, I have no hesitation in recommending its approach. It appears comprehensive in the breadth of its coverage as well as its depth."
—British Orthopaedic Trainees Association

"This outstanding global work has very focused goals. It rationally evaluates a disorder and then proceeds to outline a management strategy with the emphasis on the author's personal experience. I very highly recommend this work to all orthopedists caring for children, including trainees. It also can serve as an excellent reference for pediatricians and therapists."
—Edward Abraham, Doody's Book Review Service

"the text is easy to dip-into, with heavy use of illustrations, radiographs and line drawings to make topics clear"
—Association of Surgeons in Training Yearbook, 2009-2010

"This is a very salutary book, a major work which will become a very valuable tool for every orthopaedic trainee and young orthopaedic surgeon."
