“This book describes the treatment of lower limb deformities in children. … The audience is orthopedic surgeons, particularly pediatric orthopedic surgeons, who care for lower extremity deformities that begin in childhood. It is also aimed at orthopedic trainees. … This important book is a comprehensive approach to the principles and management of most lower limb deformities in children and adolescents. … Overall, this book is a must for any physicians involved in the care of these patients.” (Edward Abraham, Doody’s Book Reviews, April, 2016)
