- Outlines cases and treatment of foot and ankle injuries and orthopaedic trauma
- Presents international master surgeons’ work, with color photographs and radiographs
- Explores foot and ankle fusions, clubfoot correction and femoral and tibial reconstruction
- Provides structured, instructive cases of limb lengthening and reconstruction surgery
Consisting of case studies contributed by both domestic and international leaders in the field, this is an invaluable resource for all orthopedic surgeons and researchers and practitioners of limb lengthening, deformity correction and the Ilizarov method.
Comprehensive yet accessible, this volume covers injuries to the foot and ankle as well as orthopedic trauma, from foot and ankle fusions and clubfoot correction to femoral and tibial reconstruction.
Each of the unique cases includes color photographs and radiographs from before, during and after surgery and will follow a consistent chapter structure which outlines a brief clinical history of the case, preoperative problem list, treatment strategy, basic principles, technical pearls and how to avoid and manage complications and subsequent problems. Suggested readings round out each case. A comprehensive presentation of techniques is featured, including external fixation, internal fixation, combination approaches and fully implantable limb lengthening nails.
This case-based approach is an efficient and thorough way to learn this exciting new frontier in orthopedic surgery.
