Where this comes from

Abstract

The surgical treatment of complicated foot and ankle problems requires recognition and appreciation of patient and disease characteristics that may compromise surgical results. Appropriate patient selection is an important factor in obtaining a successful outcome. Modulation and management of these patient characteristics are critical in minimizing complications that are associated with treatment.
