External Fixators of the Foot and Ankle

Klappentext External fixation has proven a valuable tool in the effort to correct deformities, and improve outcomes of orthopedic surgery. This title explores the ways in which external fixators are used to reduce tissue damage, reduce strain on nerves and vasculature, and improve healing in the surgical treatment of foot and ankle deformities and injuries. "Foot and ankle surgeons, whether their focus is elective reconstruction, trauma, or diabetic foot reconstruction, will find this a very useful and welcome addition to the library shelf. It has few competitors and those that do discuss principles of external fixation (for example, Ilizarov Technique for Complex Foot and Ankle Deformities, Kirienko et al. (Marcel Dekker, 2004) show their age when compared to this one. Surgical Reconstruction of the Diabetic Foot and Ankle, Zgonis (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2009), certainly discusses some of the same topics, but at far less depth than this book. I recommend it heartily." Martin C. Yorath, DPM(Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science) Weighted Numerical Score: 93 - 4 Stars!
