Key Features
- Examines the initial clinical approach to suspected deformation problems, and then walks you through pathogenesis, diagnostic features, management, prognosis, and counseling for each condition.
- Addresses a full range of lower extremity deformations; joint dislocations; nerve palsies; chest and spinal deformations; head and neck deformations; craniosynostosis and cranial bone variations; problems associated with abnormal birth presentation, birth palsies, and procedure-related defects; infant head shape variations; and torticollis.
- Distinguish deformations from malformations for appropriate management.

"an excellent encyclopaedia .. I recommend it to clinical geneticists, obstetricians, paediatricians and those working in paediatric orthopaedics, as well as all colleagues" interested in morphogenesis and syndrome diagnostics.
"This portable and on-the-go searcheable publication seems the most appropriate format to cover topics as wide ranging as endless degrees of deformations one may be confronted to deal with."
“…an attractively presented and thoroughly referenced book …this is a useful text that will be of value to anyone who might encounter deformation in infants and young children in their daily clinical practice.
"This is a highly specialized book with no comparable competing publications. It is a high quality work with tremendous utility for clinicians involved in medical genetics. The authors have outdone themselves."
-Luis F. Escobar, MD, MS (St. Vincent Hospital and Health Care Center) Doody’s Score: 97 – 5 Stars!
"…an attractively presented and thoroughly referenced book …this is a useful text that will be of value to anyone who might encounter deformation in infants and young children in their daily clinical practice."
