Virtually every area of podiatric diagnosis and treatment depends to some extent of the use of various aspects of radiology in addition to other specialities. The decision by the podiatric physician to select surgery to correct a foot problem is made most frequently with x-ray evidence to reinforce the therapeutic pathway. In addition, the details of the surgical procedure selected also rely to a great degree on x-ray analysis and interpretation. Biochemical assessment of patients with suspected podiatric medical disorders most often requires the input of radiological studies. This may include special views in weight-bearing positions. The radiological studies reinforce the ability of the clinician to establish a diagnosis and better understand the pathogenesis of nonsurgically as well as surgically correctable conditions. This contribution of podiatric medicine to the health care world is no small gift. This book focuses on the special needs of the podiatric physician and others interested in the medical and surgical management of the pedal extremity.
