“This book covers child and adolescent orthopedic disorders in a different way. The purpose is to present a system to accurately diagnose and briefly recommend treatment options using clinical and supplementary assessment tools. The audience is mainly primary care physicians and allied medical professionals such as physical and occupational therapists, medical students and trainees in orthopedics, and those preparing for orthopedic qualifying examinations. … I highly recommend this book to interested readers.” (Edward Abraham, Doody's Book Reviews, September, 2017)
