This book comprehensively discusses the basic and practical aspects of foot and ankle surgery applied to all pathologies resulting from instabilities of these joints, a condition that remains underestimated. Uniquely, it not only addresses injuries to the lateral ankle ligaments, but also examines injuries to the deltoid-spring ligament complex, the syndesmotic and chopart joint ligaments, as well as peritalar instability – all pathologies that have often been neglected in the past.

For each type of instability, it describes the anatomical basics and the biomechanical features, allowing readers to understand the injury pattern, the subsequent symptoms and clinical findings. Further, it offers guidance on selecting the most appropriate imaging tool for diagnosis and planning surgical reconstruction. Written by world-renowned pioneers in the field, and featuring a wealth of high-quality, intraoperative pictures, the book guides readers step-by-step through the latest, innovative technical surgical solutions for each condition.

With its consistent structure, from the basics to the solution, its problem-oriented approach as well as its meticulously selected iconography, this book is a must-read for all orthopedic surgeons with an interest in foot and ankle surgery whishing to explore this promising field. Further, it is a valuable resource for residents, researchers and physiotherapists wishing to gain insights into foot and ankle instability and reconstructive surgery.

This book offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of ankle osteoarthritis pathologies and solutions for successful ankle replacement surgery. The opening chapters examine the anatomical basics and biomechanical features essential for understanding each pathological condition and achieving a well-balanced and stable replaced ankle.

The authors further illustrate the diagnostic work-up, pre-operative planning, indications, and contraindications. Providing step-by-step guidance through the most updated surgical techniques, many of which they have pioneered themselves, they complement the path toward successful replacement surgery. Besides primary arthroplasty, the volume focuses particularly on revising failed total ankle arthroplasty and provides new insights into the possibilities and limitations of salvaging a painful ankle arthrodesis with an ankle prosthesis.

A wealth of intraoperative photographs of unique quality, combined with a consistent structureand a problem-oriented approach, make this book a must-read for all foot and ankle surgeons. Moreover, it is a valuable source of information for residents wishing to gain insights into end-stage osteoarthritic ankles and for researchers and physiotherapists seeking to understand the clinician’s view on their work.

Der Erfolg in der Hüft- und Kniegelenkprothetik und die ungünstigen Langzeitergebnisse nach Arthrodese des oberen Sprunggelenkes haben das Interesse für den Kunstgelenkersatz des oberen Sprunggelenkes neu geweckt. Im Gegensatz zu den anfänglichen Lösungen berücksichtigen die neuen Implantate die Besonderheiten der Anatomie und Biomechanik des Sprunggelenkes, womit die Bandstrukturen die Führung und Stabilisierung des Gelenkes übernehmen können. Voraussetzung sind allerdings eine regelrechte mechanische Ausrichtung und Stabilität des Fußes. Erstmalig in der Literatur vermittelt dieses Werk einen umfassenden Einblick in die physiologischen und mechanischen Besonderheiten des arthrotischen Sprunggelenks und die damit verbundenen Möglichkeiten und Gefahren des prothetischen Ersatzes. Wichtige Erkenntnisse aus den Anfängen der Sprunggelenkprothetik wurden aufbereitet und leiten über in einem Überblick zum heutigen Stand. Zahlreiche eindrucksvolle Grafiken, Fotos und Abbildungen illustrieren das gesamte Buch.
