From the reviews:
"This is a 276-page, 27-chapter text by 33 authors from North America and Europe. … The text is well written, adequately illustrated and well referenced. Most chapters are remarkably well organized and uniform, which is surprising for a multiauthored text. … This is an excellent resource for the orthopedic surgeon with a special interest in foot surgery. It also should be interesting for podiatric physicians and sports medicine specialists. It would be a good addition to many hospital libraries." (M. Mark Hoffer, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 298 (23), December, 2007)
