Περιγραφή
Fractures of the calcaneus, or heel, are amongst the most common cases of foot trauma seen by orthopaedic surgeons.
The new edition of this comprehensive book provides instruction on the management of fractures, complications, and emergency situations.

In addition, this book features rehabilitation aspects, as well as outcome evaluation methods.
The text is highly illustrated with drawings, tables, algorithms, photographs and radiographs. Links to online operative videos are also provided.
This second edition has been fully revised and updated, with many new topics added, providing orthopaedic surgeons with the very latest advances and knowledge in their field.
