Book review of Textbook of Bunion Surgery from the Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association:

"Twenty years after its first edition, this textbook is the product of only seven contributing authors who, still from the Department of Podiatric Surgery at the California College of Podiatric Medicine, represent a broader background of training and philosophy than in the two previous editions. All of the chapters have been thoroughly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in the criteria and selection of procedures based on outcome studies and the authors' personal experiences.

A chapter on first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis is the lone new chapter while the large number of osteotomy procedures are presented with a good variety of fixation, including newer devices such as soft-tissue anchors and external fixators. Preoperative evaluation remains a strong feature, and there is a definitive reorganization and improvement in the chapters on lapidus and postoperative complications. Probably the most remarkable updates are evident in the ever-changing field of implant procedures, although the lack of a thorough evaluation of the newer two-component implants may be indicative of their general lack of acceptance to date.

Unfortunately, the chapter on implant complications is disappointingly shallow. Also lacking is an in-depth review of the anatomy of the deformity and the classic papers that defined it, as well as a chapter dealing with juvenile hallux abducto valgus. The illustrated drawings are generally clean and simple but lack uniformity, which can be distracting at times.

This reference textbook stands alone and has a nice format. Overall, it accomplishes the editor's goal "to enable students, residents and foot surgeons to better understand, evaluate, and treat the various bunion deformities with more predictable and favorable outcomes." In the future, look for good valid outcomes studies to better define the success of hallux abducto valgus surgery. "
