About the Book

This book provides a practical and superbly well referenced approach to the various manifestations of achilles tendinopathy. It gives the reader illustrated details of management of the conditions depicted. From simple achilles tendinopathy through to acute rupture of the achilles tendon, the authors provide a key resource for all those involved in the management of these patients. Delving not only into the anatomy, biomechanics and diagnosis of achilles tendon medicine but also into the management options open to orthopedic surgeons, sports physicians and physiotherapists, no other title has gone into such detail to identify the past, present and future options for the management of achilles tendon injuries.

Review :
From the reviews: "This is a 276-page, 27-chapter text by 33 authors from North America and Europe. ! The text is well written, adequately illustrated and well referenced. Most chapters are remarkably well organized and uniform, which is surprising for a multiauthored text. ! This is an excellent resource for the orthopedic surgeon with a special interest in foot surgery. It also should be interesting for podiatric physicians and sports medicine specialists. It would be a good addition to many hospital libraries." (M. Mark Hoffer, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 298 (23), December, 2007)
