This up-to-date and comprehensive book on imaging of the foot and ankle provides a detailed description of the techniques and imaging findings relevant to this small region of complex anatomy. This book is an entirely revised second edition of the ‘Imaging of the Foot & Ankle’ published in 2003. It offers an updated comprehensive review of imaging and pathologies of the foot and ankle. The various techniques and procedures employed when imaging the foot and ankle are discussed in detail in the book. Individual chapters are devoted to radiography, arthrography and computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonography, and intra-articular injections. The second part of the book documents applying these techniques to the diverse clinical problems and diseases encountered in this anatomical region. Among the many topics addressed are congenital and developmental disorders, impingement, ankle pain (medial, lateral, posterior, and anterior), heel pain, metatarsalgia (big toe and lesser), stress fractures, postoperative imaging, and tumours and tumour-like lesions. Each chapter is written by an acknowledged expert in the field, and a wealth of illustrative material is included. This book will be of great value to musculoskeletal and general radiologists and orthopedic surgeons.

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.

Minimally Invasive Surgery of the Foot and Ankle is a collection of procedures presented by experts and pioneers in foot and ankle surgery who share an interest in developing less invasive methods of treating disorders of the foot and ankle. Procedures described in detail in this text avoid extensive soft tissue dissection and minimize soft tissue complications while affording results equal to those reported using traditional extensile exposures.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of current arthroscopic techniques for the management of ankle joint disorders. An introductory section clearly and accessibly explains the anatomy in question, the portal placement and other ankle procedures, addressing both the articular and extra-articular compartments. All currently available minimally invasive surgical options and the management of various upper and lower lesions of the ankle are then described step by step, discussing the main issues concerning each of them and sharing useful tips and tricks.
