Orthopedic Surgery Essentials: Foot & Ankle

Written by experts in the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society, this volume of the Orthopedic Surgery Essentials Series presents all the information residents and clinicians need. Focusing on the surgical goals for various surgical techniques—rather than providing encyclopedic examination of the techniques—no other text provides a better introduction to the rapidly burgeoning field of foot and ankle surgery. In this reader-friendly, visually stimulating source, you’ll find easy access to requisite basic knowledge to evaluate and diagnose most patients with foot and ankle problems, and to begin treatment planning. This is an excellent source of selected reading lists to further your research.

Coverage begins with anatomy, biomechanics, physical examination, and orthotics and proceeds to the specific problems encountered in the foot and ankle clinic. A chapter on arthroscopy is also included.
