Product information Synopsis of Foot and Ankle Surgery

An expert, concise guide on the pathophysiology and treatment of foot and ankle disorders

Foot and ankle problems can be quite complex and constitute a large percentage of orthopaedic conditions, including congenital and acquired deformities, arthritis, tumors, heel pain, nerve damage, trauma, and more. Synopsis of Foot and Ankle Surgery, edited by renowned foot and ankle surgeons and educators Simon Lee and Christopher E. Gross, is an easy-to-read resource covering a wide range of foot and ankle fundamentals. The book fills a gap in the literature, and in particular orthopaedic resources, by providing a reader-friendly handbook for medical students and junior residents who need quick and reliable clinical information at their fingertips.

This textbook serves as a primer for beginners as well as a resource for more established clinicians to expand current understanding and knowledge of foot and ankle pathologies and techniques. The opening five chapters lay an essential groundwork, covering anatomy, an overview of surgical approaches, biomechanics, imaging basics, and medical history and physical examination. Common and less prevalent conditions are addressed in the 18 subsequent chapters, while the final two chapters discuss orthotics and prosthetics and orthobiologics, respectively.

Thieme offers electronic books in PDF and EPUB formats. For both formats, you need software to display the documents on your reading device. This software is not part of the e-book download.

What is the PDF format?
Adobe PDF format (Portable Document Format) is a standard format in MAC/PC area. Free programs for reading a PDF are available for all common operating systems (e.g. Windows, Mac OS, Linux) and for almost all e-book readers such as e-book readers, tablets or smartphones.

What is the EPUB format?
EPUB (electronic publication) is a standard format for e-books that enables dynamic adaptation of the text to the size of the display device. It is particularly well suited for displaying e-books on tablet PCs, smartphones, and e-book readers.
EPUBs can also be easily displayed on MACs/PCs via the free ADE (Adobe Digital Editions) software, for example.

Is an Internet connection required to read an e-book?
An Internet connection is required only to download the e-book to the reader. Once the download is complete, you can view and read the e-book without an Internet connection.

On how many devices can I read the e-book?
You can read an e-book on up to six different (mobile) devices. These devices must be authorized with the same Adobe ID.

Can I exchange/return an e-book?
E-books are products that are not suitable for return due to their nature. Just like downloads of other electronic files (movies, music or software), e-books are excluded from the right of withdrawal. A return or exchange is therefore not possible.
