Preface

This monograph is the result of my professional, clinical and scientific, experience and therefore I make no claims for completeness. I decided which topics to treat and their importance based on the frequency of pathologies in my daily practice and their relevance in the international medical literature, giving more space to those less present. I tried to be brief and to integrate text, images, and tables, with as little repetition as possible, to make every concept immediate for the reader. With this in mind, I prepared some initial chapters (Chaps. 2–5) with pathologies common to various anatomical sites of the lower limb. In subsequent chapters, I report only on particular aspects of tendons, muscles, bones, etcetera, related to the anatomical site. A careful literature review, which I performed for each topic, greatly enriched me from a cultural point of view and has improved my clinical practice. I thank the authors mentioned in the bibliographies for allowing me to share their knowledge. I hope those who read this monograph are similarly enriched. Enjoy the reading. Pavia, Italy
