This book focuses on Müller-Weiss disease. It explores its aetiology and pathogenesis, clinical and radiological features, classification systems, nonoperative and operative treatments, to inform on all aspects of the subject and offer future directions for treatment and research. It addresses various misconceptions and controversies regarding basic essential aspects of the disease such as clinical deformities and radiological abnormalities that define the disease.
Comprehensive Guide to Müller-Weiss Disease dives into the unknowns about the condition, including all aspects of the management of the disease. Having been classified as a rare disease, the incidence of Müller-Weiss disease has increased exponentially worldwide, mainly due to increasing awareness and recognition in recent years. Therefore, this resource represents an informative book for physicians who diagnose and treat patients with Müller-Weiss disease, including orthopedic foot and ankle surgeons, podiatrists and podiatric surgeons, radiologists, rheumatologists and other health professionals with specialist foot and ankle interest.
Professor John Wong, an experienced retired orthopaedic surgeon, dedicated 23 years of his career as a consultant at Altnagelvin Hospital in Northern Ireland. Throughout his tenure, he exhibited a deep passion for teaching and research, actively teaching undergraduate students from prestigious institutions such as Queen's University Belfast and Ulster University Londonderry. Moreover, his expertise extended beyond the boundaries of those two institutions, as he also contributed to annual instructional courses designed for postgraduate surgical trainees throughout the island of Ireland.
Professor John Wong's sub-specialty was foot and ankle surgery, and with a wealth of experience and expertise, he made significant contributions to the medical community. Notably, he held the esteemed position of president at the Irish Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (IOFAS). Professor Wong's research endeavours earned him widespread recognition, as the prestigious IOFAS annual research prize had been renamed "The John Wong IOFAS Scientific Award" in honour of his outstanding contributions to the field.
