520			_aThe specialty of foot and ankle surgery is a diverse amalgamation of orthopedic surgical principles, biomechanics and kinesiology, sports medicine, physical therapy and rehabilitation, as well as the psychology of patient and surgeon expectations. This is also a unique specialty because surgeons of different training backgrounds, including Doctors of Podiatric Medicine (DPM), Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DO), and Doctors of Allopathic Medicine (MD), practice it nationally and internationally. It is our belief that when knowledge and experience is shared among these diverse surgeons, the specialty of foot and ankle surgery, and ultimately patient care, continues to improve. It is for these reasons that we have brought together these surgeons and past fellows to produce this innovative and unique text. This textbook is a reflection of our unique foot and ankle specialty practice and our surgical fellowship program at The Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Center in Columbus, Ohio. Our practice is comprised of fellowship-trained MD, DO, and DPM foot and ankle surgeons dedicated to the subspecialty of foot and ankle surgery. We practice in a fully collaborative environment encompassing all aspects of education, research, and patient care—with the primary goal of constantly improving patient care and surgical outcomes. We continue to “spread the word” nationally and internationally through our interaction with other surgeon colleagues and are humbled to see many like-minded surgeons who understand the benefit of this collaborative approach. We are honored to have our dear friends, mentors, and world-renowned giants in foot and ankle surgery—Drs. Robert Anderson and Hodges Davis— contribute the Foreword of this text. We individually and collectively learned so much from them both; thus, it is an absolute honor to have their words of wisdom attached to this textbook. In this text, we have tried to reveal our unique multidisciplinary perspective and approach to the most common foot and ankle surgical topics. We believe that both careful preoperative planning and discussion among the treatment team are key tenets of our multidisciplinary approach. This leads to deliberate and careful consideration of operative efficiency and excellence so that the day of surgery is simply the execution of a well-thought-out plan. You will note “callouts” throughout the text of key steps and operative “pearls” to assist with the efficiency and performance of critical surgical steps. _bThis textbook is not meant to be a historical review or an all-encompassing encyclopedia of foot and ankle pathologies; rather, it is a careful description of current techniques and approaches to the most common surgical treatments. We have attempted to reveal “what works well in our hands” and the evolution of techniques that produce consistently successful outcomes. We hope you find the direct and focused approach refreshingly practical and useful in the care of your patients.
