Riassunto:

A highly illustrated color guide to common foot conditions for podiatry students and clinicians. Covering common pathologies with reference to treatments. Takes a case study approach each case being based on one or two illustrations. The illustration section of each case history is preceded by a synoptic introduction describing the condition presented. This is followed by two facing pages with the illustrations and questions relating to the evidence shown in the photograhs and x-rays. The questions aim to test the reader's knowledge of the relevant treatment as well as the pathology. Explanatory answers expanding on the information already presented are given on the verso page of the illustration section.
