"...provides a comprehensive review of the known and anticipated complications arising from the treatment of foot and ankle disorders.... As more healthcare practitioners provide foot and ankle services, including surgical management, understanding these complications is paramount to having a successful outcome for all involved. This book does a first-class job of making this a priority.... In terms of a broad audience, this book should be required reading for ALL orthopedic and podiatric residents and fellows.... A well-written and well-illustrated book is essential for the subject matter covered and this book succeeds on both counts. It is clearly laid out in four sections, covering forefoot, midfoot, hindfoot, and ankle.... There is an ebook version... with read aloud, highlighting, flash cards, and customizable layout. The book makes good use of line drawings, tables, clinical images and imaging studies.... [It] makes a very useful contribution to the subspecialty of revision surgery of the foot and ankle."
