A Colour Atlas of Foot and Ankle Disorders

This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. Lavishly illustrated with over 500 superb colour photographs, practical and extensive in its coverage, it gives a clear pictorial account of all the major foot and ankle presentations. The accompanying text highlights the salient diagnostic features and treatment options. The logical structure and many useful tips throughout the Colour Atlas make it a highly accessible, attractive and uniquely relevant companion to both practice and study.

This color atlas is a practical pictorial guide to the diagnosis of skin and nail conditions of the lower extremities. It features more than 1,000 detail-revealing full-color clinical photographs of over 100 common and uncommon lesions, grouped into easy-to-follow categories. The succinct text accompanying each photograph explains the lesion's salient features and, whenever possible, provides a differential diagnosis. Therapeutic recommendations offered include new treatments for fungal nails and for scars. The opening chapter, on general principles, includes a classification with an algorithm and a problem-oriented algorithm. Subsequent chapters cover the entire gamut of disease entities--eczema; contact dermatitis; drug and toxic reactions; papulosquamous diseases; benign tumors; premalignant and malignant tumors; bacterial, viral, and fungal skin infections; infestations, parasites, and bites; developmental disorders; manifestations of internal disease; manifestations of circulatory disease; sweat and associated disorders; mechanical injuries; psychocutaneous disorders; nail disorders; and scar conditions.

The second edition of An Atlas of Foot and Ankle Surgery builds on the success of the first, with an international selection of expert contributors to represent the current practice of foot and ankle surgery throughout the world. The material in this atlas is presented according to how foot and ankle pathology is encountered by most orthopaedic surgeons in their practice. Some chapters deal with individual common procedures, such as the soft tissue procedure for hallux valgus: in these, technical details and variations of technique are presented. Other chapters deal with diagnoses, such as metatarsalgia or cavus foot, and a number of different surgical treatment options are described. The scope of each chapter exceeds surgical instructions alone: the respective pathology is detailed, as are diagnostic techniques and alternative methods of treatment. The Atlas of Foot and Ankle Surgery should be of interest not only to inexperienced specialist surgeons, but also to the general orthopaedists and surgeon in training with an interest in disorders of the foot and ankle.

This book explains the important points involved in the prescription, manufacture and dispensing of the functional foot orthosis. This orthosis is a device placed inside a shoe and worn underneath the foot and is intended to synchronize the mechanics of the lower limb.

Index to both the American and the British volumes of the Journal.

An encyclopedic guide to the modern practices, techniques, and tactics used in preparing and trying cases, with model programs for the handling of all types of litigation.

This book contains hundreds of photographs illustrating a wide range of foot and lower limb conditions and should be of interest to clinicians, chiropodists and specialists in orthopaedics, vascular disease and diabetes.

This text is designed as a reference for students and professionals within podiatry and chiropody. Suitable for undergraduates, the book aims to help them pass exams and provides them with an overview of the scope of podiatry practice - the pathology and presenting features of the common conditions encountered, their diagnosis and management, and related therapeutics. The structure of the book makes it suitable for use both as a reference book and as a revision text.

This book covers the information sources for six groups of allied health workers who treat patients directly and whose therapies have their own defined literatures: chiropodists, dieticians, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, radiographers (both remedial and therapeutic) and speech therapists.

This full-color atlas offers a systematic guide to performing surgeries for the most common traumatic lesions of the foot and ankle. It features a wealth of didactic illustrations, achieved with a particular technique employing colors and transparencies that also reveals those anatomic structures that are not visible in the surgical field, but essential to a good outcome. Divided into seven chapters, the book provides coverage of all anatomic segments, presenting each topic logically and explaining all types of lesions, even the most difficult, complicated or infrequent ones; discussing the indications and objectives of the surgical treatment; describing the surgical technique (patient positioning, approach, tips and tricks for reduction, means of osteosynthesis); and providing recommended post-operative protocols. Unique in its exclusive focus on foot and ankle traumatology, this atlas offers an invaluable resource for all surgeons and residents who need a systematic overview of the main treatments options for these segments.
