Drawing on the latest evidence, this book guides readers through the diagnosis and surgical treatment of the most common pediatric foot and ankle deformities and pathologic conditions.

Thanks to a wealth of images, readers will gain new insights and learn new concepts for several surgical procedures – with a special focus on all aspects of clubfoot treatment, new techniques in coalition surgery and new concepts in planovalgus and cavovarus correction. The book also features a number of cases that observe a given condition over an extended period: idiopathic clubfoot, subtle and rigid planovalgus deformity, skew foot, cavovarus foot, supramalleolar and forefoot deformities and others. For each surgical technique, it thoroughly discusses the indications, provides valuable tips, and highlights potential pitfalls. Functional aspects are moreover emphasized by pedographic observation.

This comprehensive book offers a valuable asset for foot and ankle surgeons, pediatric orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists and pediatricians alike.
