Abstract
This is the fifth edition of Foot & Ankle Orthopaedics Essential Review Articles. This year’s focus is the ankle. With this collection of 4 recently published excellent and focused “Topical Review” articles you will be exposed to the subtle nuances of diagnosing and treating your patients with relatively common and often challenging ankle problems including options for treatment of focal and global ankle arthritis, endoscopic/arthroscopic techniques to evaluate and treat periankle pain, arthrofibrosis after ankle fracture ORIF and other procedures, and advanced techniques to image the painful ankle after total ankle replacement.
These review articles are ideal for both fellows-in-training and experienced senior foot and ankle surgeons. Everyone, regardless of background and experience, will learn at least 1 key point or technique from each article that will help them provide better care for patients.
In addition to this bound version, as with all papers published in Foot & Ankle Orthopaedics, each article is freely available online worldwide. Foot & Ankle Orthopaedics is the PubMed-listed open access online journal of the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society and includes quality original research articles, systematic reviews, and case reports.
