Cross-links and search tools (with smart navigation) help you grab information from the web, the book, and even your notes. This takes ease-of-use to a whole new level. Furthermore, you are able to share your notes with other colleagues and/or can be the recipient of notes. It is truly an environment for learning and mulling over ideas between doctors.

The content is in-depth and accompanied by color illustrations. There is quick-reference tabbing which serves to save content for later recall. The color illustrations contain pictures of most-utilized instruments and dermatologic conditions. Created with a list format, this book works well to make an environment conducive to easy learning and long-term comprehension.

The content contains anatomy, disease prevention, microbiology, pharmacology, and the management of many disorders. Whether you are a resident looking for the right text (for easy access to information) or a victim of these issues, this is one item which can benefit both. Moreover, the concise and comprehensive manual covers trauma, implants, wounds, arthritis, and so much more.

This guide serves well for residents, students, and surgeons alike. It is the fourth edition of this manual and the contents are truly comprehensive. Furthermore, this edition contains new and innovative techniques in the field of podiatry and helps to prepare for nearly any scenario. It is a step-by-step manual from leading authorities, which in the thick of it, give you the best advice for the surgical procedures they perform.

3000 illustrations walk you through each and every step of the most common of procedures as well as unusual surgeries. The color format highlights key anatomic structures and surgical approaches, and as such, the end result is better retainment and understanding of the procedure in question.

This is a volume which can broaden your already vast knowledge of treatment and procedures, or can bring a student up to speed in a fairly quick amount of time. Furthermore, with the knowledge of proven and successful surgeons in their respective field, you can be certain the information therein is knowledge worth the study.

This contains enhanced navigation with how-to guides for bone and soft tissue procedures. There are detailed descriptions of each with treatment recommendations. The pages even cover special topics, such as rare iatrogenic and idiopathic deformities. Moreover, the illustrations are abundant with surgical instruction.

Quick-reference tabbing allows you to mark areas of interest for faster recall and navigation. Also, there is an app which allows you to collaborate with colleagues by sharing the notes taken, so as to get the most out of your research and to give the best to your patients.

We really like the search tool function, as it pulls information from the book, your notes, and the web alike. This really adds to the overall functionality and importance of this book.

There are over 1000 color illustrations and radiographs. Furthermore, this manual helps to analyze radiographs with efficiency and accuracy using a systematic approach. It has content on MR, CT, PET, SPECT, and musculoskeletal ultrasounds, as well as easier identification of the conditions which are considered to be intrinsic to the feet, or which represents manifestations of an extrinsic disease.

We like the fact this covers postoperative conditions and evaluates them with the possible complications that can arise. This gives a better understanding during a radiographic interpretation.

Furthermore, the radiographic interpretations cover both adult and pediatric fields. This adds to the already high value of this particular volume, as it examines both parties in a no-nonsense and practical approach.

1300 full-color illustrations help to clarify the details of diagnosing and treating within the realm of plastic surgery, its instruments, procedures, and post-op care. It contains everything from suturing to incisional and excisional procedures. Moreover, the information within is extremely comprehensive and covers the latest in technique and procedure.

This is a great reference manual for the experienced podiatrist looking to expand their knowledge in technique. Furthermore, it helps to create a practical environment in which each procedure covered is handled with the best techniques available.

Everything from cutaneous flaps, grafts, reconstructive, and plastic surgical techniques are found within these pages. It is full of detail and leaves nothing out. That is, this text takes on a no-nonsense approach with its content.

Authoritative perspectives are found within the pages - leading personnel in the field to give better advice on technique, and with a better understanding of why that particular technique should be employed versus other procedural options. Furthermore, a wide range of procedures is covered with step-by-step instructions in order to give the best chance of grasping the material.

We love how these pages take complex problems and break them down into their simpler forms. This makes learning a bit easier. Plus, 1300 illustrations help give us the surgeon's eye with a unique perspective.

Overall, this is a reference manual worthy of any surgeon's or student's library. Whether it be for quick reference or for a deeper understanding of technique and postoperative care, this is certainly worth taking a look at.

Although there are many causes to plantar fasciitis, one of the main causes is the tearing of the fascia ligament, in the form of microtears along the area where it attaches to the heel bone. It was once believed that heel spurs were to blame but now it is understood that heel spurs are, indeed, a result and not the cause.

Dr. Colin Dombroski does a fine job of explaining the details and, moreover, explains how to treat the condition with the best results. We really like the way he helps us learn how to get the best results from the treatments we undergo. That is, Dr. Colin Dombroski works with the medical field and not against it.

Lastly, this volume is quite in-depth with knowledge and information. It is not a book by someone looking to get rich off of those who are in need, but instead, it is designed to improve the quality of life for those who suffer.

Applied anatomy biomechanics covers sports medicine. A theoretical framework, it is utilized as an assessment tool to analyze and validate evidence-based modification to the body. It further evaluates how to optimize performance for an athlete through technique.

Cross-sectional anatomy is "the study of the relationship of the structures of the body by the examination of cross-sections of the tissue or organ," according to the Free Dictionary, by Farlax. This examination occurs through actual slicing or imaging. The slicing runs parallel to the vertical or long axis.

Functional anatomy is, well, functional. It is a relationship between the body part and its functionality. This text examines the overall functionality. Moreover, it examines everything from fetal development to diagnostic imaging. It is a textbook, so there are a lot of terms and medical knowledge within.

It does, however, lack personality within the writing style. In other words, it is a no-nonsense style of writing with high importance to detail.

Sometimes, the best advice we can receive is from others who have lived the same experience we are facing. William Errol Prowse IV examines everything from plantar fasciitis (a condition he suffered) to the walking gait. He further backs his program up with a money-back guarantee; not too bad for self-help books on podiatry.

The contents cover plantar fasciitis, flat feet, dysfunctional walking gait, hammertoes, neuromas, bunions, and pain (involving the ankle and feet). One of his key points for recovery is to avoid sitting down, as this can weaken the feet. This part of the program can become quite difficult for those of us who work in an office setting and are not allowed to stand.

In essence, we are then forced to overcompensate the day's journey with a heavier dose of exercise. That is, the key element in pain reduction is the exercise to strengthen those areas which have become weak. And as with any exercise regimen, we should always consult our doctor first. So, this is a decent self-help book but should be accompanied by a doctor's advice.

This another one of those texts that take complex information and break it all down to an easier understanding of guiding principles and elements. Whether you are a seasoned veteran in the field or are just a beginner, this book covers all aspects. Furthermore, the flow of the book is great in helping those even with little understanding become more adept on taking care of your feet.

Not all pain can be addressed in the same way; nor can one treatment work for everyone, as we are all different. This book is unique in that it helps us identify underlining issues and then convey these questions to our doctor with more precision. As such, treatment becomes easier on a one-to-one basis and we are able to find better treatment, which may be healthier for our individual needs.

This may be okay as a quick-reference for seasoned surgeons and podiatrists, but this book is better for those with little to no understanding. It is an easy read and does not overly bog you down with medical terminology, which can become confusing for those not in the field. For a common-sense approach to care, this is a nice guide.
