    Summary: Comprehensive, current and insightful, this well-illustrated text is devoted to the detailed management of common but often challenging complications that all foot and ankle surgeons encounter in their practice. Opening with a discussion of the "anatomy" of a complication, the book is divided into five thematic sections - perioperative, forefoot, first ray, midfoot/hindfoot and ankle - with each chapter detailing the development and evolution of both major and minor complications, the evaluation and decision-making involved, and the best surgical management techniques for each. Perioperative topics covered include surgical infection, venous thromboembolism, and incisional complications, with the subsequent sections detailing complications following specific conditions, such as hallux valgus, calcaneal fractures, and the Charcot foot, among many others. Boasting a diverse and experienced authorship and Editors who are past Presidents of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons, Complications in Foot and Ankle Surgery is a unique and timely resource for foot and ankle surgeons worldwide who treat these challenging conditions.

    12 patients with pemphigus foliaceus, a form of pemphigus with lesions that arise in the intercellular substance in the superficial layers of the epidermis, and 7 patients with pemphigus vulgaris, where lesions are in the deep layers, were studied by immunofluorescence. Circulating antibodies to intercellular antigens (IC antibodies) were found in 11 pemphigus foliaceus and 5 pemphigus vulgaris patients. On direct immunofluorescence of skin lesions 75% (9 of 12), pemphigus foliaceus patients had intercellular deposits of IgG localized solely or predominantly in the superficial epidermal layers, whereas this was not the case in any of the patients with pemphigus vulgaris. Over 70% of the pemphigus foliaceus patients with predominantly superficial IgG deposits lacked in their lesions normal intercellular antigens usually expressed in the deep layers of the epidermis. This was shown by the inability of IC antibodies in autologous or allogeneic sera to bind to intercellular antigens in the lower epidermis of patient's skin, even though the same sera could bind to intercellular antigens in all layers of normal allogeneic skin. Lack of normal intercellular antigens deep in the epidermis may result in circulating IC antibodies binding to the superficial layers, a site which corresponds to, and thus in some patients may account for, the anatomical location of lesions in pemphigus foliaceus.
