"Another amazing masterpiece in the Gillette Children’s Healthcare Series, after the earlier book on idiopathic scoliosis. It is impressive that all the queries that parents of children with scoliosis due to known causes might have and that may come up along the course of treatment are collected in a concise yet thorough source with current, speculation-free, easily readable responses."
