Doody Review Services

Reviewer:Edward Abraham, MD (University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine)
Description:This is the fourth edition of a three-volume work on musculoskeletal disorders and trauma in children and adolescents.
Purpose:The purpose is to present the most authoritative opinion on pediatric orthopedics.
Audience:The main audience consists of pediatric orthopedic surgeons and fellows and orthopedic residents. John Herring, MD, chief of staff of Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, is nationally and internationally known as a seasoned pediatric orthopedic surgeon. He is ably supported by attending staff from his institution.
Features:Six comprehensive sections expand on the previous edition by including important current advances. The editorial staff has made the book more readable by improving the style and adding more useful illustrations and color. Each disorder, for the most part, is thoroughly covered and illustrated. The exception is the less than comprehensive chapter on orthopedic related syndromes. Russell-Silver syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, Riley-Day syndrome, and others are briefly mentioned elsewhere.
Assessment:This book makes a very important contribution to this subspecialty. It honors the late Mihran O. Tachdjian, yet continues to evolve and take on a character of its own. What doesn't make sense is that all the chapters remain authorless. The contributors need to be recognized for their expertise in their fields. In the preface, this work was hailed by some as "the Bible of pediatric orthopaedics." I prefer to reservethat honor for Lovell and Winter's Pediatric Orthopaedics, 6th edition, Morrissy and Weinstein (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006) . Still, I highly recommend this book to all medical science libraries and those professionals caring for children with orthopedic problems.
