Like its predecessors, Text Atlas of Nail Disorders, third edition is destined to become an invaluable diagnostic tool. The authors comprehensively cover pathologies affecting the toe and finger nails. They profile each pathology, from common to rare disorders, and support them with extensive color photographs. This latest edition contains new material on podiatry and investigation techniques including histopathology, ultrasonography and MRI, and dermatoscopy making this an invaluable diagnosis aid for dermatologists and podiatrists

The editorial team were reassured that the second edition, with its differential
diagnostic style of presenting clinical information together with liberal use of
colour illustrations, had been successful enough to merit a further edition. Seven
years have passed since the previous edition and evidently, like for other areas
of clinical medicine, diagnostic and therapeutic advances have been made in
relation to nail disorders. These are reflected in this third edition.
The science of the nail apparatus and the clinical management of the foot and
traumatic nail disorders are now much more closely allied to podiatry and this is
shown in the contributions of Ivan Bristow and by his inclusion as a member of
the editorial team.
Until relatively recently only mycological and histological diagnostic routines
were used to investigate nail diseases. Luc Thomas and Sandra Ronger have
contributed a new section on the use of dermatoscopy in the nail and periungual
tissues, reflecting the increasing subtlety of this technique in the diagnosis of
pigmentary conditions.
Ultrasonography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) have become very
important in diagnosis and presurgical assessment and a contribution by Jean-
Luc Drape shows the advances in this field.
Many of our dermatological and podiatric colleagues use this book as their
main diagnostic tool and to further aid our readers we have increased the
number of ‘further reading’ references throughout the book.
