Review
,,"."this book fills a much needed gap in the market. All the case histories are well structured, well illustrated and also come with invaluable 'further readin' references. The layout of the book makes it an ideal quick reference text which is relatively inexpensive."" "Dr N. Padhiar," Physical Therapy in Sport

Foot Facts for the Mobile Clinician
Fantastic little pocket sized book, ideal for Podiatry students and clinicians...colour coded sections which makes it easier to refer to...question and answer type clinical cases to solve with comprehensive answers sections, very logical and a great asset to the Podiatric Medical Profession.

A must for students
As a 4th year podiatry student I have found this text an invaluable reference. It is written by both an orthopaedic surgeon and a podiatric surgeon which gives an invaluable insight into the diagnosis of many of the cases featured.

Several other Health Professional who work closely with the Podiatric profession have also commented on it's usefulness in aiding them in alternative diagnoses for their patients.

Well worth the money.

A Helpful Book
I have a background of 8 years practice as a chiropodist, so my views will be coloured by what I already know. I thought the book was a useful addition to my library and I will use it to help some of my patients who wish to be better informed.

The best point for me was that the book identified when an orthopeadic surgeon would be a better person to take over care from my own non-invasive approach. It gave easy to understand guidelines on a surgical approach and success rates, which I belive will assist my own patients to have an informed opinion.

The fact that it is broken down into case by case studies also makes it ideal to get quickly to the point. A good knowledge of medical terms is essential to get the best from this book, it does not hold your hand as some books do. If you show it to someone else be prepared to explain these terms - or be made a fool of!

A good and helpful book for the experienced reader, or have a dictionary to hand if you are a student.
