It communicates the latest findings in pediatric orthopedics in a didactic, comprehensive and detailed manner, answering everyday questions in the field of orthopedics and pediatrics and highlighting all aspects of diagnosis.

Or do we need splints, corsets, or even operations, for straightening what is crooked? This is how to make children's orthopedics fun - in practice and theory.
