Get a quick, expert overview of optimal therapeutic interventions for pediatric patients with musculoskeletal conditions of the hand. This concise resource by Drs. Joshua Abzug, Scott Kozin, and Rebecca Neiduski offers practical recommendations and guidelines along with key background information, for a well-rounded, concise perspective on hand therapy for children. You''ll benefit from the knowledge and experience of orthopaedic surgeons and other members of the rehabilitation care team who provide a real-world, multidisciplinary approach to this complex field.- Covers a range of musculoskeletal conditions, including: congenital disorders, joint disorders, neuromuscular disorders, sports-related injuries, and trauma. - Includes supporting background information, including an overview of embryology, intrauterine diagnosis, and physical functional development. - Covers complementary, practical, and clinical approaches, including orthotic intervention and prosthetics. - Editors and contributors represent orthopaedic surgeons and members of the rehabilitation care team for a well-rounded perspective.

Emergency care of pediatric orthopedic surgical emergencies is often provided by orthopedic surgeons who primarily treat adults. Pediatric Orthopedic Surgical Emergencies is designed to provide the essential information needed to safely evaluate and treat the most common surgical emergencies in pediatric orthopedic surgery. Each emergency scenario includes the keys to patient evaluation, operative considerations, and expected complications. Each contributor provides technical pearls and tips based on their preferences and clinical experience in this area. Topics covered run the gamut from trauma (including the mangled extremity and compartment syndrome) to individual body regions (the spine, upper and lower extremities) to infection and other conditions. Pediatric Orthopedic Surgical Emergencies is a convenient, illustrated guide to procedures that can be challenging to those physicians who treat pediatric patients infrequently.

Sub-specialization within pediatric orthopedics is growing, in part due to the development of free-standing children's hospitals and the desire by patients and their parents to have "experts" care for them. We are at the forefront of a trend in physicians classifying themselves as pediatric upper extremity surgeons. Numerous pediatric hospitals now have or are recruiting physicians to focus their practice in this area. Historically, these issues were treated by general orthopedic surgeons, adult hand surgeons, pediatric orthopedic surgeons, or plastic surgeons. However, none of these professionals treat the entirety of pediatric upper extremity pathology, and no single reference has focused on the treatment of the pediatric upper extremity as a whole. For example, fractures have typically been written about in pediatric textbooks, while tendon and nerve injuries are covered in adult hand textbooks. This textbook is a comprehensive, illustrated reference that discusses all aspects of the pediatric upper extremity, from embryology and functional development to nerve injuries, trauma, tumors, burns, sports injuries and more.

This unique text focuses entirely on the treatment of pediatric elbow fractures, which encompass the vast majority of operative cases for pediatric fracture care, and which can be challenging to even the most experienced surgeon. The book opens with a survey of the basic anatomy and development of the elbow, as well as examination and imaging techniques. Both acute and chronic fractures are then discussed in detail, beginning with a brief outline of the epidemiology, classification, and work-up of each fracture, but the main focus will be on providing a master’s approach to the surgical treatment of these injuries, including supracondylar fractures, capitellar shear fractures, elbow dislocations, Monteggia fracture dislocations, and cubitus varus and valgus, among others. Numerous photographs, figures and videos will enable the orthopedic surgeon, hand surgeon, and trauma surgeon to be fully prepared to treat any of these fractures.

This book provides the necessary information for surgeons to diagnose and treat fractures that occur in the pediatric and adult hand, written by experts who routinely care for these injuries. It is imperative that treating healthcare providers understand the nuances that will be presented throughout the book to avoid missing a diagnosis, mistreating a fracture as a minor injury, or risking other common pitfalls and potential complications.Part one covers pediatric hand fractures and begins with a review of the anatomy and osseous development of the hand, followed by physical and radiographic evaluation. Subsequent chapters focus on all areas of the hand, including metacarpal, phalangeal and fingertip fractures. Part two takes a similar approach to the adult hand, opening with physical and radiographic evaluation and then proceeding to a more in-depth discussion of each type and area of fracture. Arthroscopic and WALANT procedures for hand fractures are also presented here, as are rehabilitation strategies and orthoses. Fractures that occur in the hand are typically treated by numerous providers, and therefore Pediatric and Adult Hand Fractures: A Clinical Guide to Management has wide applicability, including orthopedic surgeons, emergency department/urgent care center providers, general practitioners, plastic surgeons, and fellows and trainees in all of these areas. ​
