Paediatric Orthopaedic Diagnosis: Asking the Right Questions (2015 edition.)

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.
