Books by Thomas S. Roukis

Bringing together the most up-to-date information on all aspects of primary and revision total ankle replacement (TAR), this definitive text focuses on TAR procedures and prostheses available for use in North America with additional "e;lessons learned"e; from the international community. The text is evidence-based, includes bullet points for quick reference, and is heavy on step-by-step photographs during surgery. Accordingly, the chapter content over four main sections is a purposeful mix of theory, data, and tips/pearls with detailed photographs, tables, and references. Section One provides an introduction to and history of TAR, including a discussion of fixed versus mobile bearings, TAR versus arthrodesis, and current indications and contraindications for primary TAR. Section Two focuses on primary TAR, covering a number of contemporary systems, such as INBONE, INFINITY, SALTO TALARIS and STAR. Secondary procedures with TAR comprise Section Three, including management of wound healing complications, soft tissue injuries, and varus and valgus malalignment. Section Four discusses revision TAR, covering topics such as infected replacements, component subsidence, and limb salvage as well as issues surrounding specific implant failures. Comprehensive yet practical, Primary and Revision Total Ankle Replacement will be the gold standard for books on this topic for many years to come and will provide invaluable instruction to orthopedic surgeons, podiatrists and foot and ankle clinicians worldwide.

This issue of Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery will take a deep dive into Current Perspectives on Management of Calcaneal Fractures. Guest edited by Dr. Thomas Roukis, Past President of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons, this issue will discuss a number of related topics that are important to practicing podiatrists. This issue is one of four selected each year by our series Consulting Editor, Dr. Thomas Chang. The volume will include: Clinical Management of Acute, Closed Displaced Intra-articular Calcaneal Fractures; Surgical Management of Displaced Intra-articular Calcaneal Fractures; Sinus Tarsi Approach with Screw Fixation or Displaced Intra-articular Calcaneal Fractures; Sinus Tarsi Approach with Subcutaneously Delivered Plate Fixation for Displaced Intraarticular Calcaneal Fractures; Role of Subtalar Arthroscopy with the Sinus Tarsi Approach for Displaced Intra-articular Calcaneal Fractures; Joint Sparing Surgical Management of Sanders IV Displaced Intra-articular Calcaneal Fractures; Intra-operative Reduction Techniques for Surgical Management of Displaced Intra-articular Calcaneal Fractures; Revision Calcaneal Non-union and Secondary Subtalar Arthrodesis with Minimally Invasive Rigid Internal Nail; Fixation for Displaced Intra-articular Calcaneal Fractures; Management of Calcaneal Fracture Malunion with Bone Block Distraction Arthrodesis; Wound Coverage Options for Soft-tissue Defects Following Calcaneal Fracture Management; and Severe Malunion Deformity after Displaced Intra-articular Calcaneal Fractures, among others.

Includes article topics that contains controversies in total ankle replacement, techniques for managing varus and valgus mal-alignment during total ankle replacement, the Inbone IIT total ankle replacement system, and the SaltoT mobile bearing total ankle replacement system.
