Foot and ankle pathology affects gait, balance, and endurance. This episode explores deformity, trauma, arthritis, and soft tissue conditions affecting the distal lower limb.

We discuss biomechanics, weight distribution, examination techniques, and imaging interpretation. The episode highlights common conditions such as Achilles tendon pathology, ankle instability, and forefoot deformities, alongside surgical and non-surgical management strategies.

This chapter reminds listeners that small anatomical changes in the foot and ankle can have disproportionate functional consequences.
