PrefaceThe diagnostic and therapeutic approach of the Pediatric Orthopedic of the 21st century has been in constant change and development. The freedom of thought given by the scientific evidence has allowed and promoted this constant transformation.

There is a marked tendency to follow a non-invasive approach for the treat-ment of young patients and surgical reconstruction in adolescents.

The emphasis of the treatment of several pathologies with high incidence rates is not placed any longer on treating the underlying etiology; thus stressing the need of an devising an effective plan for the diagnosis and treatment.

This book is the result of a research carried out at the Department of Orthopedic and Traumatology at the Garrahan Hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina. We have been working on the follow-up of different pathologies described by several authors and compiled 81 protocols of different ortho-pedic pathologies in childhood.

La Ortopedia y Traumatología Pediátrica en este siglo XXI permanente-mente cambia sus normas diagnósticas y terapéuticas por la libertad de-pensamiento que existe debido a la evidencia científica. Existe una tendencia poco invasiva durante los primeros años de la vida y quirúrgica reconstructiva hacia la adolescencia. Muchas patologías bien conocidas por su incidencia son tratadas ignoran-dosu etiología, por esto necesitan de planificación para su diagnóstico y trata-miento. El grupo de Ortopedia y Traumatología del Hospital Garrahan de Pedi-atría de Buenos Aires, desde que comenzó su actividad fue planificando el seguimiento de muchas patologías publicadas por numerosos autores y realizó en este libro con la recopilación de 81 protocolos de afecciones ortopédicas y traumatológicas de la infancia.
