The broad subject of Fractures in Children has been discussed in this book with such clarity and simplicity that the book is delightfully readible. A distinct note of authority in discussing each type of fracture that occurs in children is well justified, since Dr. Blount has had the benefit of a great volume of fractures carefully followed over a period of greater than 20 years at the Milwaukee Children's Hospital. This experience has allowed the author to set down principles of treatment which are justified on the basis of end results.
