This book provides all the specialized knowledge required for age-appropriate, optimal, and successful treatment. The uniform concept facilitates the quick identification of the injury sought and the associated important information: a consistent chapter structure, structured overview tables of the most common fracture types with information on diagnostics and therapy, classification of fractures, schematic drawings of all types of injuries considering growth-specific characteristics, characteristic case studies with typical X-ray images, and all injuries of the extremities including the pelvis and spine. The new edition of this work, first published in 2006 and in its second edition in 2010, has been thoroughly updated and revised.
