FOOT AND ANKLE SURGERY Principles, Techniques, and Evidence-Based Practice: A Comprehensive Surgical Guide to Anatomy, Deformity Correction, Trauma, R
The foot and ankle represent one of the most complex and functionally important regions of the human musculoskeletal system. Successful treatment requires a detailed understanding of anatomy, biomechanics, pathology, advanced imaging, surgical techniques, and evidence-based decision-making.
Foot and Ankle Surgery: Principles, Techniques, and Evidence-Based Practice provides a comprehensive and clinically focused surgical reference covering the essential principles and advanced approaches required for modern foot and ankle care.
Designed for orthopedic surgeons, foot and ankle specialists, fellows, residents, podiatric surgeons, sports medicine specialists, trauma surgeons, and healthcare professionals, this textbook integrates foundational science with practical surgical techniques to support diagnosis, operative planning, reconstruction, and postoperative management.
Inside this comprehensive surgical guide, readers will discover:
Surgical anatomy and biomechanics of the foot and ankle - osseous structures, ligament complexes, tendon function, neurovascular anatomy, gait mechanics, and biomechanical assessment
Clinical evaluation and surgical planning - patient assessment, physical examination, weight-bearing radiographs, CT, MRI, vascular evaluation, and informed surgical decision-making
Forefoot reconstruction techniques - hallux valgus correction, osteotomies, first tarsometatarsal arthrodesis, lesser toe deformity correction, and hallux rigidus management
Sports-related injuries and soft tissue disorders - ankle instability, ligament reconstruction, Achilles tendon rupture, tendinopathy, peroneal tendon pathology, and return-to-activity strategies
Flatfoot and cavus foot reconstruction - posterior tibial tendon dysfunction, osteotomies, tendon transfers, arthrodesis procedures, and complex deformity correction
Arthroscopy and minimally invasive approaches - ankle arthroscopy, osteochondral lesions of the talus, endoscopic procedures, and modern surgical innovations
Arthritis and joint reconstruction - ankle arthritis, ankle fusion, total ankle replacement, hindfoot arthritis, subtalar arthrodesis, and salvage procedures
Trauma and fracture management - calcaneal fractures, talar fractures, Lisfranc injuries, midfoot trauma, fixation strategies, and complication management
Neurological and complex limb disorders - nerve entrapment syndromes, diabetic foot disease, Charcot neuroarthropathy, wound management, and limb reconstruction
Postoperative rehabilitation and outcomes - weight-bearing protocols, orthotic management, return-to-sport criteria, patient-reported outcomes, and long-term functional recovery
Future directions in foot and ankle surgery - robotics, biologics, three-dimensional printing, advanced imaging, and personalized surgical strategies
With a comprehensive integration of anatomy, biomechanics, surgical principles, operative techniques, and rehabilitation, this textbook provides a practical framework for managing both common and complex foot and ankle conditions.
Whether used for specialist training, orthopedic residency education, fellowship preparation, surgical reference, or clinical practice, Foot and Ankle Surgery: Principles, Techniques, and Evidence-Based Practice serves as an essential resource for improving surgical knowledge and patient outcomes.
