EDITORIAL

It is with great pleasure that I serve as Guest Editor for this issue of Foot and Ankle Quarterly, devoted to Surgical Pearls from the Weil Foot and Ankle Institute. Most if not all of the procedures developed, refined and taught by Drs. Lowell Scott Weil, Sr. and Lowell Weil, Jr., as well as their myriad students, residents, and fellows have stood the test of time. The procedures born within the Weil Foot and Ankle Institute (WFAI) have been universally adopted by national and international foot and ankle surgeons of every physician and surgeon degree.

One of the most endearing qualities of Drs. Weil, Sr. and Weil, Jr. is that they have never been afraid to recommend against certain procedures if they believed wide adoption would harm patients. This is exceedingly rare in any surgical specialty. Therefore, the intent of this seminar issue is to provide review of pertinent literature specific to WFAI procedures including the good, bad and ugly. Accordingly, the feature article covers the use of advanced tips and tricks pertinent to complex forefoot surgery. A series of seminal manuscripts published by members of WFAI follows, and we conclude with audio lectures detailing “in-the-trenches” pearls on managing hallux varus, as well as the mastery of the Weil central metatarsal osteotomy.

My hope is that the readers of this issue of FAQ will enjoy this seminar, and benefit from the surgical experience of the authors and manuscripts selected as much as I have.
