📝 My Recommendation
Given your interest in anesthesiology books, this text is not directly focused on anesthesia per se—it is firmly a surgical/orthopaedic reference. If your interest is perioperative‐anesthesia aspects of foot & ankle surgery, you may want a more anesthesia‐centric text.
However, if you are collaborating with foot/ankle surgeons or want deep understanding of foot & ankle surgery (which can complement anesthesia work), then yes — this is a very strong pick.
