Editorial Reviews

Review

“Orthopaedic Management in Cerebral Palsy is a well-written and comprehensive textbook that focuses on all issues related to orthopedic management in children with cerebral palsy. It is one of the best examples of a textbook that summarizes accumulative thinking on a complex subject. This type of book could be kept on the nightstand for several months and read from cover to cover or kept readily available on the bookshelf at the office for use as a comprehensive reference.” (JAMA, Journal of the AMA, February, 2009)
