title: Diagnostic imaging approach to bone tumors of the foot.
abstract: The authors review various bone tumors in the foot. They use ten key points with respect to five levels of evaluation, in order to assist the clinician in rapid recognition of these maladies. The classification system relates to plain x-ray films, although the authors also illustrate other sophisticated radiologic techniques for increased accuracy.
