This book forms a complete guide to avoid the trend of clinicians using imaging modalities, especially MRI scans to make a diagnosis of foot and ankle conditions, which can lead to clinicians treating the scan rather than the patient. It represents a complete guide to enable a structured management plan for the patient's condition by considering at least two other differential diagnoses before deciding on structured management. This is a useful resource for all professions in sports medicine including musculoskeletal and sport and exercise medicine doctors, physiotherapists, orthopedic surgeons, podiatrists, and sports therapists.
Foot and Ankle Problems in Sport
proposes that diagnosis and differential diagnoses should be based on knowledge (anatomy and pathology), observation, anatomical pain mapping, detailed history taking, and confirming with appropriate tests/investigations. Each chapter has been authored by world experts in this field, thus providing best practice guidelines for foot and ankle problems in sports.
