Summary

Foot and ankle trauma remains an area of considerable challenge to both the orthopaedic trauma surgeon and the orthopaedic foot and ankle surgeon. The limited soft tissue envelope coupled with high concentrations of forces across relatively small joints produce injuries associated with substantial morbidity long-term. Continued developments in surgical techniques and specific, anatomically contoured implants have led to improved treatment outcomes and functional results. This issue of Foot and Ankle Clinics includes contributions from several well respected foot and ankle trauma surgeons, and focuses on current strategies in the management of foot and ankle trauma and post-trauma reconstruction.
