Beschreibung
This book uniquely provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of congenital and acquired deformities of the pediatric shoulder girdle, a field barely covered in existing books.
It not only addresses bone deformities, but also examines the most important soft tissue alterations, e.g. muscular torticollis, thoracic outlet syndrome, shoulder dyskinesia, as well as brachial plexus birth injury and syndrome-related shoulder disorders. Following a consistent and treatment-oriented structure for each topic, leading international experts present epidemiology, key points in clinical, radiological diagnosis and treatment options, technical tips and tricks, and pertinent literature outcomes.
Filling an existing gap, this book offers a timely and up-to-date resource for pediatric orthopedic fellows and attending surgeons, as well as for general orthopedists, primary care doctors and physiotherapists with an interest in the pediatric upper limb.
Autorenportrait
Dr. Sebastian Farr graduated from the Medical University Vienna and completed his orthopaedic residency at the Millesi Center for Surgery of Peripheral Nerves (H. Millesi), General Hospital Vienna (R. Kotz) and the Orthopaedic Hospital Speising (F. Grill), where he gained his pediatric orthopaedic training. He specialized in the field of hand and upper limb surgery (W. Girsch) and completed several observerships and hospitations at renowned hospitals such as Boston Childrens Hospital (P. Waters, D. Bae). His clinical and scientific focus lies in the treatment of congenital hand and upper limb differences, injuries, and posttraumatic sequelae particularly in children and adolescents. His research activities led him to the publication of around 70 peer-reviewed articles and several book chapters. Dr. Farr served as the Chair of the European Pediatric Orthopaedic Society - Upper Limb Study Group (2017-2021), is member of several national and international orthopaedic societies, reviewerfor numerous internationally renowned journals, as well as Editorial Board member and Associate Editor for prestigious journals in this field.

Informationen zu E-Books
„E-Book“ steht für digitales Buch. Um diese Art von Büchern lesen zu können wird entweder eine spezielle Software für Computer, Tablets und Smartphones oder ein E-Book Reader benötigt. Da viele verschiedene Formate (Dateien) für E-Books existieren, gilt es dabei, einiges zu beachten.
Von uns werden digitale Bücher in drei Formaten ausgeliefert. Die Formate sind EPUB mit DRM (Digital Rights Management), EPUB ohne DRM und PDF. Bei den Formaten PDF und EPUB ohne DRM müssen Sie lediglich prüfen, ob Ihr E-Book Reader kompatibel ist. Wenn ein Format mit DRM genutzt wird, besteht zusätzlich die Notwendigkeit, dass Sie einen kostenlosen Adobe® Digital Editions Account besitzen. Wenn Sie ein E-Book, das Adobe® Digital Editions benötigt herunterladen, erhalten Sie eine ASCM-Datei, die zu Digital Editions hinzugefügt und mit Ihrem Account verknüpft werden muss. Einige E-Book Reader (zum Beispiel PocketBook Touch) unterstützen auch das direkte Eingeben der Login-Daten des Adobe Accounts – somit können diese ASCM-Dateien direkt auf das betreffende Gerät kopiert werden.
Da E-Books nur für eine begrenzte Zeit – in der Regel 6 Monate – herunterladbar sind, sollten Sie stets eine Sicherheitskopie auf einem Dauerspeicher (Festplatte, USB-Stick oder CD) vorsehen. Auch ist die Menge der Downloads auf maximal 5 begrenzt.
