Evaluation and Surgical Management of the Ankle, edited by Dolfi Herscovici, Jeffrey O. Anglen and John S. Early is a practical guide to the evaluation and management of surgical problems associated with the ankle. Divided into six thematic sections, it opens with general considerations for the ankle, including discussion of the anatomy, physiology and biomechanics of the ankle joint, along with relevant radiography and evaluation of ankle pain. The subsequent sections focus on specific injury types, from soft tissue injuries of tendons and ligaments, to classification and management of the various types of ankle fractures, to diabetic and Charcot neuropathy and chronic problems such as infections, post-traumatic arthritis and osteochondral disorders. Detailed descriptions of surgical algorithms are complemented with intraoperative photos and radiographs, providing a well-rounded presentation utilizing the most up-to-date evidence and clinical guidelines.
