This atlas is the perfect companion to Lovell and Winter's Pediatric Orthopaedics, Sixth Edition. Featuring more than 1,200 illustrations, the atlas depicts 123 common procedures in pediatric orthopaedic surgery in step-by-step detail. The outstanding drawings are accompanied by brief, clear text descriptions filled with clinical tips and pearls. The illustrations are often paired with radiographs showing intraoperative progress or desired results. The level of detail in the illustrations simulates the actual operative field. This revised and updated Fourth Edition reflects the most advanced techniques. Fifteen new procedures have been added, and the section on the spine has been completely reworked.

Because pediatric orthopedic trauma involves fixing bones that are still growing, it has unique concerns and complexities that distinguish it from adult orthopedic trauma. Unlike previous books on this topic, this book utilizes a case atlas format to provide current management strategies for pediatric orthopedic injuries to the upper and lower extremity and axial skeleton in a clear and concise manner, demonstrating real-world clinical situations and methodology for successful treatment. Each case will be authored by an expert in the field and will contain comprehensive step-by-step instructions on how to handle each injury. In addition to pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative recommendations, each case will include multiple color images and radiographs, clinical pearls, and possible pitfalls to further guide the reader and provide the orthopedic surgeon, resident and fellow with quick, credible and reliable answers to “How do I fix this?”

Clinical photographs, X-rays, MRI, ultrasound, and CT pictures provide an in-depth view of the clinical features of orthopedic diseases and deformities. This atlas is an invaluable help in differential diagnosis for orthopedic surgeons and residents alike.
