AB This book includes a good discussion of the management of joint problems encountered mainly in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, with a focus on surgical management. A brief outline of the roentgenographic changes and histology of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is included.Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is not a common disease, and surgery is performed on a small number of patients. For this reason, a large series on surgical treatment is not found in the literature.The authors gave their impressions and advice based on their experience with the various types of surgical procedures; it is understandable that this experience is not large in some areas.The book is helpful to physicians who are involved in treating juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, such as orthopedic surgeons, pediatricians, and rheumatologists.
