Forefoot Reconstruction

Barouk is a combination of Mozart and Monet as he "harmonizes the forefoot", while using gentle strokes to correct a hallux valgus, metatarsal malalignment, or digital deformity. These attributes are transferred to words and illustrations in this outstanding work. Forefoot Reconstruction is a must for any serious foot and ankle surgeon.
