The Functional Outcome Guessing Game: Which Foot/Ankle Underwent Surgery?

Foot and Ankle surgery historically suffered from average outcomes. However with better understanding of biomechanics, better surgical techniques, better implants, this is no longer the case. Current foot / ankle surgery can be associated with excellent outcomes. In this interactive CME talk, we look at some common surgical procedures and videos of the functional outcomes. Audiences are also invited to guess which foot underwent surgery before.
