that is pushing the crooked tree trunk in the cover il- Children are -patients-, not -customers-, - lustration). This requires close cooperation with parents, they require -care-, not -management- - pediatricians, other therapists, orthopaedic technicians (G. A. Annas) and nursing personnel. The idea for this book originated from pediatricians who were frequently encountering patients with musculoskeletal problems and who, during a course in pediatric orthopaedics, expressed a wish for a book that would take into account the standpoint of the pediatrician, as well as those of the children and parents. It has since grown into a comprehensive volume. Not all readers will have so much to do with -crooked- children that they will want to read everything. But perhaps they might wish to refer to this book upon encountering a specific problem. There may also be those who are not directly involved in treatment, but who would probably like to know the various available options and the cor- sponding factors considered in their selection. For prac- cal purposes, this book also aims to stress the regional (rather than a systematic) subdivision of disorders. After all, a child does not come to the doctor s office saying -I m suffering from a growth disorder- or -I have a congenital condition-. Rather he or she will say -my back hurts- or -I have a stabbing pain in my knee-."
