This is a practical guide for those interested in developing their clinical skills as providers of foot and ankle care. It will enhance the clinician's skills in physical examination and decrease the clinician's dependence on expensive tests. The first five chapters provide a foundation in foot and ankle terminology, anatomy and biomechanics, as well as a systematic approach to the evaluation. A structured examination routine as outlined in Chapter 2, performed repetitively, will help the examiner avoid critical omissions. Subsequent chapters deal with common foot complaints on an anatomic basis. Each of these chapters details examination techniques specific to the part being assessed. Finally, common manifestations of systemic disease in the foot and the differential diagnosis of in-toeing are discussed.
