Visual assets

Clinical decision aids and diagrams from the knowledgebase. Each diagram also appears within the relevant domain page, where it is explained in context.

What's available

The full visual-assets gallery displays all 19 diagrams, organized by purpose:

  • Decision & treatment algorithms — the overall treatment decision tree, the "which course of action" algorithm (A: triple arthrodesis / B: external fixation / C: amputation), and the general decision algorithm.
  • Diagnostic & clinical sequences — the recommended diagnostic workup and the integrated treatment protocol.
  • Surgical & referral pathways — the recommended referral pathway and how to identify appropriate specialist care.
  • Biomechanics & outcomes — the biomechanical cascade from childhood surgery to adult pathology, and surgical outcomes comparisons.
  • Pre-surgical management — off-loading, wound care, and medical optimization before reconstruction.
  • Classification & scoring — the WIfI (Wound, Ischemia, foot Infection) limb-threat card.
  • Age-based & salvage algorithms — age-based treatment, salvage vs. amputation (LEAP-informed), and flatfoot treatment algorithms.

Note

If a diagram does not render, its content is also available as linked text within the relevant clinical domain page.
