Pediatric foot details important and relevant topics in Pediatric foot. The book is meant to supplement, not replace available texts in Pediatric Orthopedics. The book is unique in dealing with many controversial subjects in pediatric foot. Topics like pes cavus, flat foot and surgery in clubfoot are known to stimulate a lot of debate and discourse. The ECAB on Pediatric Foot has been conceived keeping in mind the needs of Orthopedic surgeons in practice, orthopedic residents in training and Orthopedic surgeons dedicated to the practice of Pediatric orthopedics as a specialty. It would serve as a useful text for orthopedic residents appearing for their specialty board examinations like the MS Orthopedic Surgery, FRCS Trauma & Orthopedics and DNB Orthopedic Surgery.

​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.

Clubfoot is a deformity in which an infant's foot is turned inward so that the bottom of the foot faces sideways or even upward. Approximately one infant in every 1,000 live births will have clubfoot, making it one of the more common congenital (present at birth) foot deformities. If a child's clubfoot is not treated, the foot will remain deformed, and he or she will not be able to walk normally.

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.
