Riassunto

You know the case. The skin is already tight, the swelling is up, and the incision you draw in the next minute decides whether the nerve, the flap and the fixation survive.

Foot and ankle surgery leaves very little room for improvisation. Bone, tendon, nerve and vessel sit under a thin sleeve of skin. An incision drawn by habit can injure the sural or superficial peroneal nerve. A construct chosen at the table can fail at six weeks. A complication caught late can cost a limb.

Most books give you the classification and leave the operation to you. This atlas does the opposite. It walks you through each case in the order you perform it, one decision at a time.

Every chapter answers three questions before you pick up the knife:

• What is the problem I am solving?
• What are my choices, and what does each one cost?
• What is the point most often missed?

Then it gives you the approach, the reduction, the fixation and the closure, step by step.
