Opis

The foot has a special place in musculoskeletal
diagnosis due to its complex anatomy and because many similar symptoms can
have different causes, each requiring a different approach to treatment.
The evaluation of foot disorders and diseases requires close
clinical-radiological correlation and communication with foot experts.
Foot disorders and injuries increase with age, due in part to the rising
popularity of recreational sports in all age groups. Diagnostic Imaging of
the Foot and Ankle will help you train your eye to recognize disorders and
diseases of the foot and ankle, including those that are often misdiagnosed or
overlooked.
