Are you looking for concise, practical answers to those questions that are often left unanswered by traditional foot and ankle references? Are you seeking brief, evidence-based advice for complicated cases or controversial decisions? Curbside Consultation of the Foot and Ankle: 49 Clinical Questions provides quick answers to the tricky questions most commonly posed during a “curbside consultation” between orthopedic surgeons.

Drs. George B.

The unique Q&A format provides quick access to current information related to the foot and ankle with the simplicity of a conversation between two colleagues. Numerous images, diagrams, and references allow readers to browse large amounts of information in an expedited fashion.

Some of the questions that are answered:

• How do you treat an athlete with chronic lateral foot overload and peroneal tendonitis with a cavovarus foot?
• How do you fix your syndesmotic injuries? Can I use tight-ropes now?
• I have a 63 year old patient who had an ankle fracture 20 years ago. They are ready for a major procedure now. Should I perform an ankle arthrodesis or should I refer her out to someone for a total ankle arthroplasty? What are your criteria for a total ankle arthroplasty?
• Do I need to use bone graft in foot and ankle surgery, autologous or allograft? What graft should I use?
