商品簡介
Thordarson, an orthopedic surgeon, supplies orthopedics residents with an introductory textbook on the anatomy, biomechanics, physical examination, orthotics, diagnosis, and treatment of foot and ankle conditions. In 14 chapters, orthopedic surgeons from the US and Turkey present surgical techniques, but focus on the essential information needed to evaluate and diagnose a condition and begin treatment planning. These include neuromuscular disorders; nerve entrapment syndromes; the diabetic foot; hellux valgus, hallix varus, and sesamoid disorders; lesser toe deformities and bunionettes; tendon disorders; heal and subcalcaneal pain; degenerative joint disease; acute ankle sprain, chronic ankle instability, and subtalar laxity; and trauma. This edition has been updated with new procedures, including minimally invasive calcaneal fracture fixation and subcutaneous plating pilon fractions; more on total ankle arthroplasty to reflect recent advances and improved outcomes; and information on minimally invasive techniques. Access to a searchable version of the book and other resources is included. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
