Description
The Foot and Ankle is a volume in Arthritis and Arthroplasty—the first comprehensive series dealing with arthritis and arthroplasty
in orthopaedic surgery. J. Chris Coetzee and Shepard R. Hurwitz present guidance on everything from patient selection and pre-operative
planning to surgical approach and techniques. Clear, evidence-based coverage details which technology and methodology used for total
ankle replacement (TAA) or foot and ankle reconstruction is best for each patient. Access discussions of debates, including the challenging
primary TAA; revision TAA; treatment strategies for subtalar arthritis; acquired flatfoot; great toe (MTPJ) arthritis; and more. Explore
alternatives to TAA in younger arthritic patients (e.g. anthroscopy, osteotomies, allograft resurfacing, distraction arthroplasty, interpostional
grafts, arthrodesis) and view expertly narrated video demonstrations of surgical techniques. In addition to providing practical, pragmatic
advice in a concise, readable format, this Expert Consult title offers the full text of the book, as well as links to PubMed and periodic
content updates, online at www.expertconsult.com.
