Pediatric Orthopedics is a reconstructive surgery and not an ablative one. It requires the power of creation and innovation. That makes it one of the fine arts of surgery. Apart from following the rules, there are some instances where one is confronted to an on-table problem, as in limb reconstruction for deficient parts. My professor used to say "Orthopedic surgeons are fine carpenters".
