My Orthopaedic Surgeon

The Hyperbook is an evidence-based resource for education in foot and ankle surgery. It’s mainly aimed at UK orthopaedic trainees, although other professionals and the public have told us they find it helpful.
Our main goals are:
* to provide reference material for orthopaedic and other trainees in foot and ankle surgery
* to explain principles and concepts clearly
* to make it clear why we say what we do
* to promote evidence-based practice (Successor to Blackburn Hyperbook)

Toe walking has multiple etiologies ranging from idiosyncratic habit to profound neuromuscular disease. The spectrum of management options extends from mere observation to operations that may involve the lengthening of multiple tendons in the same lower extremity. In dealing with this entity, the underlying pathophysiology for each case must be understood to ensure that the treatment is appropriate to the specific etiology.
