Foot and ankle surgery has grown rapidly within the last 20 years, due to international collaboration between podiatric, orthopaedic, and trauma surgeons from around the globe. This book aims to provide trainees with a general overview of topics encountered in foot and ankle surgery, by presenting the general surgery section published originally within International Advances in Foot andAnkle Surgery. While this book does not exclude scientific background, it emphasizes a practical, hands-on approach.

This book will appeal to trainees who have yet to specialise, but need access to an easy reference companion within general foot and ankle surgery.
