Beschreibung

Second Edition, Illustrated. - Philadelphia & London, W.B. Saunders Company, 1950, 8°, XIII, 415 pp., 195 Fig., orig. cloth. The first edition of this book was written to fill a need among physicians as expressed by them to the publishers, its reception was gratifying, and demand for it has continued. The fundamental concepts of functional treatment of disturbances of the foot have not changed, but have been more firmly established by the intervening years of clinical experience. Function is the primary consideration in the treatment of any condition affecting the foot and has been the theme throughout this text. The treatment of pes valgoplanus with corrective shoes and correct gait has received wide acceptance. This chapter, accordingly, has been rewritten for clarification, and more detailed illustrations have been used. The treatment in infancy of congenital talipes equinovarus and congenital pes valgoplanus with cohesive bandage has been included. An ambulant brace for maintaining overcorrcction of the clubfoot until muscle balance is established is illustrated. Technical improvements in the surgical correction of hallux valgus, hammer toe and metatarsalgia are described. The chapter on infections has been revised to include the current use of the antibiotics. Advances made during World War II in the treatment of circulatory disturbance have been studied. Those which proved effective have been included. A new and effective method for treatment of chronic thrombophlebitis, using anticoagulants and antibiotics is presented in detail. Illustrations have been added to illuminate the text further. Many of the older ones have been replaced by careful selection from our files. It has been the author's earnest desire to make this a practical book for use by the physician in the care of his patients." Preface to the Second Edition, Emil D. W.
