Det här är en av LibraryThings förhandsrecensioner.Interesting Read!!!
Det här är en av LibraryThings förhandsrecensioner.My son Had developmental dysplasia of the hip that was noticed at around 6 months. At first I was concerned that there could be long term problems that would follow him around forever. After reading this book I had a new found understanding of what was going on and a new confidence in myself while talking to the doctors. I would recommend this book to someone needing a better understanding of hip Dysplasia

Miller has provided an excellent introduction to clubfoot for the concerned parent. It will also serve as an introduction to anyone who is simply curious about the condition.
The most important point for the parents of the newly-diagnosed is that clubfoot can usually be corrected with only minor surgery. Braces must be worn for years, however, although often only at night. Full recovery is the usual result; Miller lists several famous athletes who were born with clubfoot.
Don’t panic! A diagnosis of clubfoot does not mean that your child will be a “cripple”. Read this book for the facts.… (mer)

I previously read the author's other book, "The Parents' Guide to Hip Dysplasia," so I was also very interested to read this one. As I mentioned in my other review, I am a nursing student and enjoy reading these types of books so that I can have a deeper understanding of the causes and treatments. This one interested me a great deal because I myself had to wear casts when I was younger, though I have no recollection of it. I think that this book will prove to be an extremely valuable resource for parents who have a child with clubfoot. The author goes to great lengths to explain everything in a way that is easy to understand. I also like the resources that she provides so that parents will have a plethora of information already found for them; all they have to do is go to whatever website that they find interesting from the list. A must read for anyone who has a child with clubfoot.… (mer)
