Smith’s Recognizable Patterns of Human Malformation has long been known as the source to consult on multiple malformation syndromes of environmental and genetic etiology as well as recognizable disorders of unknown cause. This esteemed medical reference book provides you with complete and authoritative, yet accessible guidance to help accurately diagnose these human disorders, establish prognoses, and provide appropriate management and genetic counseling. Consult this title on your favorite e-reader, conduct rapid searches, and adjust font sizes for optimal readability. Recognize the visual signs of each environmental and genetic abnormality by consulting more than 1,500 full-color photographs and illustrations, many from the personal collections of Drs. Smith and Jones. Find all the answers you need about normal and abnormal morphogenesis, minor anomalies and their relevance, clinical approaches to specific diagnoses, and normal standards of measurement for the entire spectrum of human malformation syndromes. Efficiently identify genetic disorders in your patients with the inclusion of nearly 20 recently recognized entities/syndromes, as well as new chapters on Microdeletions and Microduplication Syndromes. Available digitally for the first time! You can now access Smith’s as an eBook or online at Expert Consult.

This user-friendly 5th Edition provides concise but complete information on numerous common and rare disorders that cause human malformation. Includes an outline of the salient features of each condition, as well as material on natural history, etiology, and pathogenesis. The text is accompanied by helpful illustrations and reference lists. Organized to allow for easy access to essential information.

This book guides you through the initial clinical approach to suspected deformation problems as well as the pathogenesis, diagnostic features, management, prognosis, and counseling for each condition. It also addresses a full range of lower extremity deformations, joint dislocations, nerve palsies, chest and spinal deformations, head and neck deformations. It will help distinguish deformations from malformations so they can be managed appropriately.
