The book presents a problem-based rational approach to the diagnosis of orthopaedic problems
in children. It is divided into four sections based on the age at which specific problems may
be encountered the newborn and infant the toddler and the pre-school child the child in the
school-going age and the adolescent. The authors outline a systematic approach to arrive at a
tentative diagnosis by asking relevant questions related to the presenting symptom and then
performing a thorough clinical examination. They then suggest the most appropriate
investigations to confirm the diagnosis. Each chapter deals with the common conditions that may
lead to the problem the rarer causes of the problem are listed at the end. This feature would
make the book a practical manual and a high quality reference source. An important feature of
the book is the number and quality of illustrations and video clips in the electronic version.
