“This book has been a key, if not the key, go-to reference on the
treatment of fractures in children. This ninth edition is a
wonderful update that partners with the Orthopaedic Trauma
Association and continues to provide the most current concepts in
the treatment of injuries in children available in book format.
The obvious purpose of this edition is to maintain the standard set
forth by the eight previous editions, which have established
Rockwood and Wilkins' as the most popular and fundamental reference
used by orthopedic residents and surgeons. It remains one of the
few must-have core books for every orthopedic surgeon.
The target audience includes the broad range of orthopedic
surgeons, from residents to well-established attendings. Virtually
every medical library that serves orthopedic surgeons will want a
copy for students in training and healthcare professionals who want
a quick reference. The authors have brought together key concept
leaders to write each chapter to bring readers as up to date as
possible.
This remains the leading book in the world on the management of
fractures in children. It is a classic, comprehensive book that
provides the depth of content, images, and references expected of
the same. The images virtually always complement and expand the
presentation of the information and transfer of knowledge to
readers.
If there is a top five list of books that orthopedic surgeons
should have in their library or have access to, this one and
Rockwood and Green's Fractures in Adults, 9th edition, Tornetta et
al. absolutely belong on it. They are the core, go-to references
for all residents in training and orthopedic attendings in
practice. The real question is not whether you need to have these
two in your library, it is whether you need the latest edition. For
me, this book is a wonderful update to the eighth edition and
provides a much more current fund of knowledge. If you have an
edition that's older than the eighth, it is absolutely time to
update.”
