About the Book
Comprised exclusively of clinical cases, this concise, practical casebook provides clinicians and surgeons with current reconstructive techniques for complicated manifestations of foot and ankle injuries as a result of trauma, neuromuscular disease and deformity. Presenting unique cases in forefoot, midfoot, rearfoot, and ankle surgery, it is sensibly divided into six sections: forefoot maladies, the varus foot and ankle, the valgus foot and ankle, Charcot neuropathy, tendinopathies, and ankle joint revision. Each section demonstrates the surgical techniques chosen in each case, supported by generous, detailed surgical and radiographic slides and diagrams. A consistent chapter format, outlining the case presentation, diagnosis, management, and pearls and pitfalls, ensures its utility and accessibility.
Pragmatic and reader-friendly, Challenges in Foot and Ankle Reconstruction Surgery: A Case-based Approach is an excellent resource for foot and ankle surgeons, podiatrists and all clinical staff treating these common yet challenging conditions.
