With an image-focused, non-traditional layout that differs from most medical textbooks, the fourth edition of Rang’s Children’s Fractures —a classic textbook on children’s fractures for over 40 years—expands to four editors, all faculty members of Rady Children’s Hospital at the University of California, San Diego. This edition maintains the book’s practical, playful style and emphasizes diagnosis, treatment, common pitfalls, and communication with parents and other healthcare professionals.
