Trauma is always a challenging problem to deal with it. And when it comes to foot and ankle trauma, it becomes even more complex with many problems being missed or neglected. While all of us can manage and operate on ankle fractures at the beginning of our residency, many lack the knowledge how to assess these fractures pre as well as intraoperatively and describe each component of the fracture leading to instability so that it can be dealt well with reduced risk of long-term problems.
Similarly in foot, many of the surgeons are trained to deal with most of the fractures non-operatively with less knowledge of the indications when an injury needs further evaluation or needs surgical intervention.
