Reviews

From the reviews of the third edition: As diabetes continues to make its presence felt in epidemic proportions on a global scale, this book is not only desirable, but also necessary. The objectives are met! Written primarily for physicians, surgeons, and nurses who are involved in the treatment of the foot and ankle in diabetes, it will be of use to others too, including researchers, residents, and students. ... The strength of this book is its comprehensive approach, which will be the distinguishing factor from its competitors. (Martin C. Yorath, Doody's Review Service, August, 2012)
