Operative Techniques in Orthopaedic Pediatric Surgery contains the
chapters on pediatric surgery from Sam W. Wiesel's Operative
Techniques in Orthopaedic Surgery and provides full-color,
step-by-step explanations of all operative procedures. Written by
experts from leading institutions around the world, this superbly
illustrated volume focuses on mastery of operative techniques and
also provides a thorough understanding of how to select the best
procedure, how to avoid complications, and what outcomes to expect.
The user-friendly format is ideal for quick preoperative review of
the steps of a procedure. Each procedure is broken down step by
step, with full-color intraoperative photographs and drawings that
demonstrate how to perform each technique. Extensive use of
bulleted points and tables allows quick and easy reference. Each
clinical problem is discussed in the same format: definition,
anatomy, physical exams, pathogenesis, natural history, physical
findings, imaging and diagnostic studies, differential diagnosis,
non-operative management, surgical management, pearls and pitfalls,
postoperative care, outcomes, and complications. To ensure that the
material fully meets residents' needs, the text was reviewed by
a Residency Advisory Board.
