Book Overview
This book is designed as a practical and quick reference guide to the evaluation and management of common pediatric knee injuries for those who provide clinical care to children and adolescents, including pediatricians, family practitioners, pediatric nurse practitioners and trainees in these fields. It focuses on the important findings on evaluation and considerations for management of common knee injuries and is arranged in three general sections: general evaluation of the pediatric knee, specific injuries in the pediatric knee and injury prevention.
Now in its fully revised and expanded second edition, Common Pediatric Knee Injuries, 2e provides an update that is concise and practical, providing easy reference for common and concerning pediatric knee issues. It contains cases to aid understanding, as well as helpful pearls and pitfalls along with a chapter summary for quick glance for each condition. Most current offerings are either very general, very specific or geared toward orthopedic surgeons and trainees. One of the major additions to this edition is a new section on preventative exercises for each condition-related chapter, when appropriate. There is also a completely new chapter that focuses specifically on healthy athlete behaviors. Both of these new developments help add an angle of preventative care to this edition that wasn't as present in the first.
