Program Objective: The objective of this course is to provide the foot and ankle surgeon with a balanced exposure to reconstructive and limb salvage surgery, as well as to foot and ankle trauma and microsurgical (loupe magnification and fine-tipped instruments) peripheral nerve manipulations in the foot and ankle. Also included will be the effective use of critical appraisal skills, so that surgeons do not waste their valuable time. The presentations cover topics that are common to practicing foot and ankle surgeons, and each entails a review of the existing literature along with a critical assessment of the level of clinical evidence supporting the information. The following topics will be emphasized: hallux valgus, hallux rigidus, diabetic foot ulcer, and limb salvage, as well as amputation techniques. Also to be discussed is peripheral neuroplasty, (that almost any surgeon can perform), pigmented skin lesions, closed reduction of fractures, and how this relates to open reduction and internal or external fixation. Electrical and low intensity ultrasound stimulation of bone growth and the use of orthobiological materials to enhance bone and soft tissue healing, the prevention and recognition and treatment of lower extremity DVT and PE, and other complications associated with foot and ankle surgery will also be discussed
