Pediatric Orthopedic Imaging is an essential reference for pediatric and musculoskeletal radiologists, as well as orthopedic surgeons. Site-specific congenital and acquired lesions are covered in chapters on the spine, shoulder, elbow, hand and wrist, hip and pelvis, lower extremity, and foot and ankle. Further chapters address generalized orthopedic diseases such as neurofibromatosis and infectious processes, neuromuscular diseases, musculoskeletal tumors, trauma, and orthopedic procedures. Epidemiology, clinical presentation, evolution, and treatment are discussed for each entity, and imaging characteristics and differential diagnoses are extensively analyzed. A wealth of high-quality MRI, CT, and US images complement the radiographic examples of common and unusual musculoskeletal disorders. No other text provides the pediatric radiology community with such up-to-date information on the complete spectrum of pediatric orthopedic imaging.
