Operative Techniques in Modern Orthopaedic Practice: A Comprehensive Textbook of Foot and Ankle Surgery is an advanced, evidence-based surgical reference designed for orthopaedic surgeons, residents, fellows, and specialists in foot and ankle reconstruction. This authoritative textbook provides a complete, step-by-step guide to modern operative management of foot and ankle disorders, integrating surgical anatomy, biomechanics, clinical decision-making, and advanced reconstructive techniques. It bridges foundational orthopaedic principles with contemporary operative strategies used in high-level surgical practice. Structured for clarity and surgical utility, the book begins with essential foundations including surgical anatomy of the foot and ankle, preoperative assessment, imaging interpretation, anesthesia considerations, patient positioning, and tourniquet use. These principles establish a strong framework for safe and effective operative planning. The core of the textbook focuses on forefoot, midfoot, hindfoot, and ankle surgery, offering detailed operative approaches for hallux valgus correction, hallux rigidus procedures, lesser toe deformities, metatarsal osteotomies, flatfoot reconstruction, cavovarus deformity correction, hindfoot arthrodesis, and plantar fascia surgery. Each technique is presented with a focus on indications, surgical steps, biomechanical rationale, and complication prevention. Read more
