A concise account of common pediatric orthopaedic disorders for pediatricians and family physicians.

​Topics in pediatric orthopedics routinely surface in general pediatrics and primary care, whether on board exams or in clinical practice. From birth injuries to musculoskeletal infections, there are many conditions and presenting complaints that must be addressed by the primary care physician or pediatrician. This concise and targeted handbook contains just the need to know conditions, injuries, and diseases necessary for residents and even seasoned clinicians to brush up on pediatric orthopedic topics with ease. Information is contained within themed chapters (like neuromuscular diseases or musculoskeletal infections) and also by anatomical region (hip, knee foot, spine, etc.). This book gives readers the basic knowledge to be able to identify common orthopedic conditions, indications to either treat these conditions or refer patient to an orthopedist, and covers the entire required curriculum needed to answer musculoskeletal questions on the pediatrics board exam.

Although there are other general books on Orthopaedics available to chiropractic students and practitioners, there is nothing written by a chiropractor. Taking a classical anatomical approach, this book should prove to be a standard text for students and reference for practitioners. Primary Care Orthopaedics will primarily address the accurate diagnosis and effective management of common orthopaedic disorders from rotator cuff impingement to carpal tunnel disease to arthritis of the joints. Features a multi-disciplinary approach, appealing not only to chiropractors, but also athletic trainers and physical therapists. Breaks down orthopedic conditions for each joint with applied anatomy and biomechanics explaining each condition; an excellent teaching tool for students and field practitioners alike to truly understand why they are doing what they are doing, what to do next and when to do it. Devotes entire chapter to recent challenges faced by the clinician on topics such as fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Lyme disease to educate the reader on assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders that are increasingly more common. Provides multi-disciplinary clinical treatment and diagnostic algorithms throughout the book to give reader choices between orthodox treatment and newer, more current treatment options. Includes over 100+ clinical entities presented in a quick and easy reference format in both the text and a table using PHYSICAL EXAM FINDINGS, XRAY FINDINGS, and TREATMENT PLAN. Features review questions at the end of each chapter with the answers at the end of the book to give the student or practitioner a chance to review what they have learned chapter by chapter. Includes a glossary of approximately 300 terms, referencing the chapter in which they first appear, allowing the reader to locate more detailed information. Focuses on diagnostic topics throughout, giving overviews on advanced testing procedures. Includes very comprehensive chapters on the knee and low back, common topics in primary care for diagnosis and treatment. Features innovative rehabilitation and treatment procedures given such as "therapeutic squatting programs" for the knee and lumbar spine. Contains over 300 anatomical, imaging, and procedural illustrations to give the reader a visual review of the text explanation. Discusses age-appropriate variances from pediatric to geriatric, reviewing similarities and differences in every age range for the most quality care.
