Pediatric Orthopedics and Sports Medicine: A Handbook for Primary Care Physicians Second Edition

The revised and the expanded second edition of this concise and targeted handbook
presents the “need-to-know” musculoskeletal conditions and injuries required for all health
care providers dealing with pediatric patients, including primary care physicians, emergency
medicine physicians, radiologists, residents, students, nurses, and therapists, to brush up on
pediatric orthopedics and sports medicine topics with ease. The most up-to-date information
is contained within themed chapters–sports injuries and pediatric trauma, for example–as
well as by anatomical region–the hip, knee, foot, spine, etc.–including chapters new to this
edition covering pediatric musculoskeletal image interpretation and general aspects of sports
medicine.
This book addresses high-yield points needed for both general day-to-day pediatric
orthopedics and sports medicine practice as well as information needed for the
musculoskeletal section of the General Pediatrics Certifying Examination and other board
exams for other specialties, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and physical
therapists.
Well-illustrated and utilizing an easy-to-follow, bullet-pointed format, Pediatric Orthopedics
and Sports Medicine gives the reader the basic knowledge to be able to identify and
understand the management of common pediatric orthopedic and sports medicine conditions,
and indications to either treat these conditions or refer the patient to an orthopedist.
