5.0 out of 5 stars This seems to be the XXI century "Blount text", July 1, 2008

This review is from: Rang's Children's Fractures (Hardcover)

I have read several textbooks on children's fractures, but this will become the XXI century "Blount" text on this field.
I recommend this book for residents,general orthopedist and even pediatric orthopedists, it is clear, easy and with a very practical POV about this vast field. Many people are trying to induce early surgery in children's fractures, but it sound like non physiological way. Iam sure, many surgeons will change a lot after reading this pretty text.
