Smith's recognizable patterns of human deformation

Clinical approach to deformation problems : malformations, deformations, disruptions, and dysplasias -- Foot deformations : foot contractures, positional foot abnormalities -- Calcaneovalgus (pes planus) -- Metatarsus adductus (metatarsus varus) -- Talipes equinovarus (clubfoot) -- Deformed toes -- Flexible flatfoot -- Tibial torsion -- Femoral anteversion -- Joint dislocation -- Developmental dysplasia of the hip (congenital dislocation of the hip) -- Knee dislocation (genu recurvatum) -- Dislocation of the radial head -- Facial palsy -- Brachial plexus palsy : Erb Palsy, Klumpke Palsy, obstetric palsy -- Diaphragmatic paralysis : diaphragmatic eventration -- Other peripheral nerve palsies -- Lung hypoplasia -- Pectus excavatum and pectus carinatum -- Scoliosis -- Nose deformation -- External ears -- Mandibular deformation -- Congenital muscular torticollis -- Torticollis-plagiocephaly deformation sequence : nonsynostotic or positional plagiocephaly -- Infant sleeping position and sudden infant death syndrome -- Positional brachycephaly -- Other postnatal head deformations -- Craniosynostosis : general -- Sagittal craniosynostosis -- Coronal craniosynostosis -- Metopic craniosynostosis -- Lambdoidal craniosynostosis -- Multiple sutural craniosynostosis -- Vertex birth molding -- Vertex craniotabes -- Anterior fontanel bone -- Parietal foramina -- Aplasia cutis congenita : scalp vertex cutis aplasia, temporal triangular alopecia -- Cephalohematoma -- Wormian bones -- Breech presentation deformation -- Transverse lie deformation -- Face and brow presentation deformation -- Small uterine cavity deformation : bicornuate or myomatous uterus -- Oligohydramnios sequence -- Fetal akinesia deformation sequence -- Abdominal pregnancy (extrauterine pregnancy) -- Early embryonic compression or disruption : tubal ectopic pregnancy, early amnion rupture, limb-body wall complex, body stalk anomaly -- Obstetric procedure-related defects : early chorionic villus sampling, amniocentesis needle injuries, failed termination procedures, limb reduction defects -- Principles of human biomechanics.

Perfect for residents, pediatricians, practitioners, or parents seeking further information, Smith's Recognizable Patterns of Human Deformation provides evidence-based management for a range of common pediatric problems affecting the limbs and craniofacial region. The only source devoted to the diagnoses and management of birth defects resulting from mechanical forces, this reference supplies the essential guidance needed for timely intervention and effective treatment. Examines the initial clinical approach to suspected deformation problems, and then walks you through pathogenesis, diagnosti.
