This text, aimed at students and practicing chiropodists, describes the conservative and surgical management of foot disorders in children. Special emphasis is placed on paediatric examination, diagnostic imaging, trauma management, congenital deformities, and foot/ankle trauma.

​The Pediatric Foot and Ankle is a comprehensive overview of the current evaluation, diagnosis, and management strategies for various foot and ankle disorders in the pediatric patient. It begins with a general history and physical and radiographic exam of the child’s lower extremity to establish normal parameters. Specific disorders are then described in detail, including neurological abnormalities, congenital deformities, and traumatic episodes. Expert authors in each area not only provide their insight and experience for proper diagnosis and treatment, but also proffer available evidence-based medicine on the topic. Since there is currently very little available to the surgeon regarding pediatric foot and ankle surgery, this book is a comprehensive authority on the topic, providing both surgical pearls and evidence-based medicine.

This book offers an updated guide to the foot and ankle, and presents them at different ages, which will allow the reader to analyze and understand how the foot develops from the early stages to adulthood. It provides a general overview of the anatomy, biomechanics, diagnosis, surgical approaches, treatment alternatives, and complications in connection with pediatric and adult foot and ankle problems, gathering in-depth information on frequent pathologies in a single source. Written by world-renowned experts, the book offers various points of view on the topics discussed. This comparative approach is generally lacking in foot and ankle literature, an oversight that the book addresses. The content consists of 59 chapters, divided into the following major sections: Basic sciences and general considerations, Pediatric orthopedics and traumatology, Adult orthopedics and Adult sports lesions and traumatology. Foot and Ankle Disorders: A Comprehensive Approach in Pediatric and Adult Populations will be of major interest for orthopedic surgery residents, for orthopedic surgeons who are starting their careers, and for experienced ones seeking updated information on the foot and ankle.

Rev. ed. of: The Child's foot and ankle / editor, James C. Drennan. 1992.

Such a thorough and up-to-date issue of the Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery will be pulled from the bookshelf time and again-by all podiatrists, not simply those who handle pediatric cases. From flatfoot to trauma and sports-related injuries to external fixation, you'll find all you need, and more, to evaluate and treat the pediatric population.

The editor has assembled 26 contributions, spurred by his long- standing interest in the pathophysiology of foot deformities combined with continual clinical exposure to the outcomes of unsatisfactory management. Initial chapters provide basic information as a foundation for the clinical sections, which present detailed information, thoroughly illustrated.
