Featuring more than 1,200 illustrations, including over 800 in full colour, Surgical Reconstruction of the Diabetic Foot and Ankle presents a stepwise approach to the surgical management of the most challenging cases in diabetic limb salvage.

Surgical Reconstruction of the Diabetic Foot and Ankle covers acute and chronic diabetic foot and ankle wounds and guides surgical decision-making in different case scenarios, including prophylactic, elective, trauma, and revisional surgery.

Topics covered include:

• surgical reconstruction of the acute and chronic Charcot foot and ankle
• local random, muscle and pedicle flaps for soft tissue coverage of the diabetic foot
• equinus deformity and the diabetic foot; surgical management of malunions and nonunions
• autogeneous bone grafting and orthobiologics
