Description
A highly illustrated color guide to common foot conditions for podiatry students and clinicians. Covering common pathologies with reference
to treatments. Takes a case study approach each case being based on one or two illustrations. The illustration section of each case history
is preceded by a synoptic introduction describing the condition presented. This is followed by two facing pages with the illustrations
and questions relating to the evidence shown in the photograhs and x-rays. The questions aim to test the reader's knowledge of the relevant
treatment as well as the pathology. Explanatory answers expanding on the information already presented are given on the verso page of
the illustration section. The format is intended to introduce the reader to the clinical assessment process and to introduce students
and newly qualified practitioners to those conditions which they are most commonly going to encounter in the clinic.
