Description

EDITORIAL

It is with great pleasure that I serve as Guest Editor for this issue of Foot and Ankle Quarterly devoted to “Trauma of the Foot and Ankle.” The basic core principles of foot and ankle trauma management have stood the test of time. However, in recent years a massive volume of information has been published such that it is difficult to stay current on this challenging subspecialty of foot and ankle surgery. Therefore, the intent of this issue is to provide up-to-date information and review of pertinent literature on traumatic injuries of the foot and ankle from a level 1 trauma center of excellence. Accordingly, the Feature Article covers the use of advanced tips and tricks on foot and ankle trauma, which are useful for routine injuries as well as complex patients with particularly challenging or high-risk situations. A series of commentaries focusing on metatarsal, tarsal-metatarsal, midfoot, hindfoot and ankle injuries follows. We conclude with Audio Lectures detailing updates on two important topics relating to foot and ankle trauma – gunshot and crush injuries.

It is my hope that the readers of this issue will find it enjoyable to review, and will benefit from the surgical experience of this team of authors as much as I have.
