The latest in Lippincott’s new Illustrated Tips and Tricks series features hard-to-find nuggets of wisdom from surgeons and residents at the world-renowned Boston Children’s Hospital. Covering the upper extremity, hip, foot, and ankle, the book focuses on how attending surgeons approach treatment and management with specific patient types in specific situations, and is ideal as a complementary resource to comprehensive technical manuals.

"Boston Children's Illustrated Tips and Tricks in Pediatric Orthopaedic Fracture Surgery, First Edition is part of the expanding Illustrated Tips and Tricks Series. Like others in the series, the approach is different in that it doesn't offer a comprehensive review of surgical procedures, nor does it offer a comprehensive review of the underlying orthopaedic trauma knowledge base and its management. Instead, it offers the sort of wisdom attending surgeons pass on to residents or fellows about how to perform surgery. These tips and tricks are often highly technical and contextual. Residents and fellows often take notes on this advice and these notes served as the foundation for the first edition in the series. Boston Children's Illustrated Tips and Tricks in Pediatric Orthopaedic Fracture Surgery, First Edition originates from what is currently the #1 rated children's hospital in the country. Coverage includes all areas of pediatric orthopaedic trauma including upper extremity, hip, and lower extremity, including foot and ankle trauma"--
