Main description:

The future of ankle replacements will be governed by careful patient selection, meticulous surgical technique, and appropriate prospective follow up and reporting as well as the introduction and collaboration of joint replacement registers.

The Atlas of Ankle Replacements is an objective, comprehensive and authoritative textbook on this subject. With easy-to-read chapters from global pioneers in ankle replacement, alongside extensive images, illustrations and photographs, this title has widespread appeal and accessibility to foot and ankle surgeons, engineers and industry alike.
