Abstract
|
|
|
|
Among the many regions (joints) of the human extremities, the foot and ankle area has a variety of disorders, which seem difficult to diagnose mainly because the anatomy seems rather complex. There are two main regions i.e. ankle and foot where the foot is divided into forefoot, midfoot and hindfoot. Among the many disorders, some of the most common and important disorders such as hallux valgus, osteochondral lesion of talus and lateral ankle instability are summarized in the aspect of clinical manifestations, physical examination, differential diagnosis, radiographic findings, initial treatments and the criteria for the surgery. The recent trend of surgical treatment options have also been described with related references.
