The Foot and Ankle in Rheumatology

Edited by Philip S. Helliwell, Mike R. Backhouse, and Heidi J. Siddle

Abstract

Foot and ankle problems are particularly common in people with rheumatic conditions—in fact they are almost universal in some. They have a great impact on people’s lives yet are often poorly understood and often go unrecognized and untreated. This book is aimed at a broad range of health professionals. From our experience in postgraduate education we know that many feel in need of more knowledge and skills with respect to the foot in rheumatic disease. Complaints about the feet are often seen as a bit of a black hole for health professionals not involved specifically in their care. This book should serve to cast away some of this darkness and uncertainty, and as a companion text to any practical tuition that the reader can obtain. For foot specialists, who may have only had limited training in musculoskeletal diseases, the book will serve as an update on current thinking across the spectrum of rheumatic disease. Effective treatment of rheumatological foot and ankle disorders requires an integrated, disease-staged approach across the multidisciplinary team. We draw on the expertise of international leaders in the field using a clear, logical, evidence-based style that guides readers through to the forefront of knowledge in the field.
