I want to acknowledge my wife Mary and children Erin, Colleen, John, and Kelly for patience and understanding while I dedicated many hours to this project. They understand that Dad has homework too. Also, I would like to recognize the injured children, medical students, residents, and fellows who count on this textbook to be the trusted source of information for fracture care; their needs are the inspiration that drive us to create an excellent final product.
Jack Flynn
I wish to thank my wife Janet, expanding family of James, Rebecca, Billy, Izzy, and Elle. They, along with our unique collection of friends, supported me doing the binge work on this book during the hours before the real fun begins. I am indebted to my partners and patients who teach me about fracture care every day.
Peter M. Waters
I want to most of all thank my wife Val for always being there for me. Thanks to my children Kira, Jamie, and Clay for being good friends in every sense of the word and assisting me with the many children who come to our home with injuries. I hope readers will welcome my daughter Kira to the medical profession; she is a first-year medical student at the time of this publication. And thank you to everyone at the Children s Orthopaedic Center at Los Angeles Children s Hospital that make it fun and rewarding to come to work every day.
