Traumatic injuries of the musculoskeletal system in paediatric patients require a thorough knowledge of biological characteristics and differences with the adult skeleton to provide an accurate early diagnosis and offer the best possible treatment to avoid complications and sequelae that impact the child's life and future.

This book provides an up-to-date review of the main topics in paediatric traumatology, from the biology of cell repair, the injuries, classifications, to the diagnosis and prevention. With contributions from experts in the field, it covers the full spectrum of conditions that can affect children, providing detailed information for clinical care as well as discussion of complications and treatment issues related to trauma. Chapters are divided in three main parts: General information, Upper extremity injuries, Lower extremity injuries, and are illustrated by numerous images of clinical cases and diagrams.

Paediatrics Traumatology is a comprehensive and invaluable resource for medical professionals and practitioners specializing in paediatric orthopaedics.
