This unique book presents an in-depth look at bunion deformity in an easy-to-reference format accessible to all readers. You'll find the most current knowledge on patho-mechanics, conservative therapies, surgical therapies, and complications related to bunion management. Chapters follow a consistent format with many excellent drawings and photographs to illustrate the subject. This updated edition has been completely rewritten and revised, with new added topics and findings. Experienced foot surgeons have contributed chapters in their areas of expertise, sharing their knowledge and first-hand clinical experience. A detailed evaluation of the foot and bunion surgery allows you to understand how the various clinical and radiographic findings will help you select the best treatment for a patient. Biomechanical implications related to the bunion deformity give you an understanding of the pathomechanics of the deformity. Preoperative criteria for each procedure allow you to use specific, objective findings in selecting a surgical procedure. Techniques to control the variables related to bunion surgery allow you to utilise various pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative techniques to reduce the incidence of a poor surgical outcome. The chapter on Evaluation is now more in-depth, allowing you to better understand the complexities of bunion deformity and how to evaluate the condition. The chapter on Hallux Limitus/Rigidus is completely revised, with more in-depth discussion, newer therapies, and the author's personal experiences related to long term outcomes in attempting to salvage the 1 st metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ). A NEW chapter on 1 st MTPJ Arthrodesis focuses on this treatment and indicates when it should be utilised. The two chapters on 1 st MTPJ Prosthesis discuss the current artificial joints, pros and cons, and personal long-term experiences of the surgery department members.
