"Although this book is titled "Foot problems in older people" and provides a comprehensive resource for assessment and management of this patient group, much of the information is more generally applicable.

As with other recent texts from Elsevier the layout is clear and colourful enhanced further by diagrams, tables and all colour photos. The 12 evidence based chapters cover aspects of assessment, dermatology, vascular and musculoskeletal disorders and treatment. Additionally, epidemiology, aeitiology and prevalence of disorders are described throughout. The final chapters discuss the role of orthoses & footwear with up to date information & advice. In my opinion, an excellent book at a very reasonable price, with key components and summarised tables make this text easily readable, great for revising students & professionals alike offering differential diagnosis & clinical presentations of diseases backed up by over 1,000 references."
