In orthopaedic surgery, the study of the foot has a special place.
Familiarity with the congenital and acquired problems of in-
flammation and arthrosis must be blended with an understand- ing of
the mechanics of support and propulsion before a sure choice of
effective treatment can be made. There is involvement of bones,
joints, tendons, ligaments, soft tissues and integument, none of
which can be treated in isolation. Superficial appraisal can lead
to the cardinal error of facile diagnosis, and ignorance of the
physiology of the organ and of the differences of expert opinion
with respect to pathogenesis and basic therapeutic con- cepts
invites inevitably poor management. In this book, I have attempted
to interpret pathology, clinical presentation and treatment in the
light of practical experience. I do not presume to be original, for
many distinguished authors on the subject already. Lelievre (1952),
Viladot et have written al. '1956), de Doncker and Kowalski (1970)
and many others, preceded by Hohmann (1951), Morton (1935), Hauser
(1950) and Boehler (1944), have all contributed significantly to
our ba- sic knowledge and opened the way to understanding. The
philosopher Alain wrote succinctly: "When it is fully com-
prehended that there is no knowledge without experience and that
one cannot conceive an idea unless there already exists a thought,
no more need be said".
