Growth of the Pediatric Skeleton

the long version

"This book is an organized approach to understanding bone growth and disease. It integrates anatomic and radiologic knowledge of enchondral and membranous bone growth and emphasizes the similarities of the physis and acrophysis in development. While mainly written for trainees in radiology, pediatrics, and orthopedics, it will also be useful to practitioners in these fields. The identification of abnormality is aided by the explanations of the causes in terms of pattern recognition."--BOOK JACKET.
