Minimally Invasive Surgery of the Foot and Ankle represents a novel approach to treatment of orthopedic problems in the foot and ankle.

This book provides an introductory overview of advancements in platelet-rich plasma (PRP), focusing on current technologies and methods, new challenges and controversies, and avenues for further research.

Sports medicine and sports science are relatively new and rapidly developing fields of knowledge. During the past 2 decades, a significant body of scientific knowledge has been published in these areas. However, there is a demand for practical ref- ences which address sports medicine and science in the context of different sports. This demand is higher in some sports including combat sports, which are highly physically and mentally demanding, and cause challenging issues such as risk of blood-borne infections, weight reduction, head injuries, stress management, and safety for women and children. This book has been developed to meet the needs of the practitioners who work with combat sports athletes in order to improve their health and performance. Combat sports include four Olympic sports (boxing, wrestling, judo, and t- kwondo) and other popular sports such as karate, kick boxing, and Wushu. These sports are popular in most countries of the world, both at competitive and rec- ational levels. Combat sports are practiced by people of different ages for a variety of reasons such as to gain fitness and health benefits and to learn self-defense.

Minimally Invasive Surgery of the Foot and Ankle represents a novel approach to treatment of orthopedic problems in the foot and ankle. The gradual change of philosophy in the management of foot and ankle surgery means that patients require a less invasive approach to surgery and a consequent improvement in recovery time. Describing the techniques and, importantly, the indications for minimally invasive procedures for the management of foot and ankle ailments, this book will explain the management of various conditions and how they can be approached using minimally invasive techniques. However, rather than only concentrating on minimally invasive surgery of the foot and ankle, the authors will be examining the options open to surgeons operating in this area – both open surgical and arthroscopic – and explaining the benefits of each. Extensive radiographs, diagrams, and intra-operative pictures will illustrate the procedures described.

Tendon ailments are a significant cause of morbidity among athletes of all levels and are increasing in prevalence. Their management is often empirical, and para-scientific, only looking at the biological aspects of tendon ailments. This book conveys a comprehensive and concise body of knowledge on the management of tendon problems in sportspeople with practical details of clinical protocols. Tendon Injuries: Basic Science and Clinical Medicine is specifically dedicated to the clinical aspects of tendinopathy and provides the required knowledge and scientific basis for the sports medicine practitioner, orthopedic specialist and student facing upper and lower limb tendon ailments in athletes. A comprehensive review of tendon disorders is given and modern criteria of management outlined to form the basis of effective clinical management of this group of patients.

This book aims to improve knowledge of Exercise Induced Leg Pain (ELIP), exploring the most common nine EILP conditions such as Chronic exertional compartment syndrome, Tibial bone injury fracture, and Medial tibial stress syndrome. Each chapter is structured to provide historical background, questions about the onset of pain, key clinical signs and symptoms using case studies history to illustrate the conditions, and offers evidence-based management.Exercise-induced Leg Pain in Sports critically evaluates the methods of assessing EILP, covering how to clinically reason and link the results of imaging and clinical evaluation to determine both a diagnosis and differential diagnosis to have a structured management approach. Filling a gap in the literature, this book appeals not only to sports physicians, orthopaedic surgeons, and physiotherapists but also to students, providing course-related information in various disciplines such as sports & exercise medicine and podiatric sports medicine.

This book forms a complete guide to avoid the trend of clinicians using imaging modalities, especially MRI scans to make a diagnosis of foot and ankle conditions, which can lead to clinicians treating the scan rather than the patient. It represents a complete guide to enable a structured management plan for the patient’s condition by considering at least two other differential diagnoses before deciding on structured management. This is a useful resource for all professions in sports medicine including musculoskeletal and sport and exercise medicine doctors, physiotherapists, orthopedic surgeons, podiatrists, and sports therapists.Foot and Ankle Problems in Sport proposes that diagnosis and differential diagnoses should be based on knowledge (anatomy and pathology), observation, anatomical pain mapping, detailed history taking, and confirming with appropriate tests/investigations. Each chapter has been authored by world experts in this field, thus providing best practice guidelines for foot and ankle problems in sports.

This textbook provides a comprehensive, systematic text on minimally invasive surgery specifically for the diabetic foot. The text provides an evidence-based description of the current techniques available, outlining all areas of the foot (forefoot, midfoot, hindfoot, ankle, lower leg) and all the different types of techniques (osteotomies, soft tissue procedures, Charcot management, fusions, fracture management and vascular techniques), providing the contemporary outcome data on each. This allows the reader to integrate minimally invasive techniques into their practice, enabling the benefits of such techniques for their patients.Minimally Invasive Diabetic Foot Surgery is structured so that each chapter is authored by a recognised expert in the field, providing a combination of expert opinion along with evidence-based data. The book is extensively illustrated, allowing the reader to better understand the techniques described, and facilitating translation into clinical practice. The book is intended to be a valuable information source for an orthopaedic surgeon, podiatrist or vascular surgeon with a practice in diabetic foot care. It should also serve as a useful resource for medical students, orthopaedic trainees, podiatry trainees and vascular trainees, learning about diabetic foot care.
