Foot and Ankle Disorders in Sports. Vol 1.

This book forms a complete guide to avoid the trend of clinicians using imaging modalities, especially MRI scans to make a diagnosis of foot and ankle conditions, which can lead to clinicians treating the scan rather than the patient. It represents a complete guide to enable a structured management plan for the patient’s condition by considering at least two other differential diagnoses before deciding on structured management. This is a useful resource for all professions in sports medicine including musculoskeletal and sport and exercise medicine doctors, physiotherapists, orthopedic surgeons, podiatrists, and sports therapists. Foot and Ankle Problems in Sport: A Practical Guide to Diagnosis proposes that diagnosis and differential diagnoses should be based on knowledge (anatomy and pathology), observation, anatomical pain mapping, detailed history taking, and confirming with appropriate tests/investigations. Each chapter has been authored by world experts in this field, thus providing best practice guidelines for foot and ankle problems in sports.
