Derived in part from the classic Surgical Exposures in Orthopaedics: The Anatomic Approach, the fully revised second edition of Surgical Exposures in Foot and Ankle Surgery: The Anatomic Approach presents orthopaedic anatomy from the surgeon’s perspective through clear, step-by-step descriptions and more than 300 full-color illustrations. Co-authored by Dr. Richard Buckley and Piet de Boer, this edition continues the legacy of Dr. Stanley Hoppenfeld, providing practical, time-tested guidance on surgical approaches to the ankle, hindfoot, midfoot, and forefoot. Updated surgical techniques, expanded anatomical coverage, and enhanced illustrations make it an invaluable reference for orthopaedic surgeons and podiatrists.
Explains the techniques, key steps, and potential pitfalls of each surgical approach while identifying important anatomical landmarks, incision placement, and the risks associated with superficial and deep dissection.
Includes guidance on extending surgical exposures and describes the regional anatomy encountered during each approach.
Features more than 300 high-quality, full-color illustrations presented from the surgeon’s perspective to support procedural planning and anatomical understanding.
Provides updated and expanded coverage, particularly of the ankle and midfoot, including new surgical approaches to the talus, cuboid, navicular, and Lisfranc joints.
Includes new biomechanical diagrams along with revised and expanded sections covering surgical anatomy and anatomical relationships.
