Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Foot and ankle problems are common complaints in patients presenting to primary care physicians, especially those with underlying comorbidities such as diabetes and peripheral arterial diseases. These problems range from minor disorders, including nail pathologies, plantar fasciitis, foot deformities, and ankle sprains, to more serious conditions, such as an insensate foot, diabetic foot ulcer/infection, peripheral arterial disease, Charcot arthropathy, melanoma, Achilles tendon rupture, and foot and ankle trauma. It is essential to address foot and ankle problems promptly to prevent the development of further health issues and potential long-term consequences in patients.
In this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit papers on clinical advances in diagnosis and treatment, as well as new scientific discoveries about medical or surgical discoveries for foot and ankle pathologies.
