Full Description
An expert, concise guide on the pathophysiology and treatment of foot and ankle disorders
Foot and ankle problems can be quite complex and constitute a large percentage of orthopaedic conditions, including congenital and acquired deformities, arthritis, tumors, heel pain, nerve damage, trauma, and more. Synopsis of Foot and Ankle Surgery, edited by renowned foot and ankle surgeons and educators Simon Lee and Christopher E. Gross, is an easy-to-read resource covering a wide range of foot and ankle fundamentals. The book fills a gap in the literature, and in particular orthopaedic resources, by providing a reader-friendly handbook for medical students and junior residents who need quick and reliable clinical information at their fingertips.
This textbook serves as a primer for beginners as well as a resource for more established clinicians to expand current understanding and knowledge of foot and ankle pathologies and techniques. The opening five chapters lay an essential groundwork, covering anatomy, an overview of surgical approaches, biomechanics, imaging basics, and medical history and physical examination. Common and less prevalent conditions are addressed in the 18 subsequent chapters, while the final two chapters discuss orthotics and prosthetics and orthobiologics, respectively.
