title: A sensible approach to early postoperative foot infection in the otherwise healthy patient.
abstract: Many excellent articles published deal with the very important didactic minutiae of postoperative infection, including discussions about specific antimicrobial therapy, operatory sterility, surgical and aseptic technique, and other similar subjects. Very few discussions deal at great length with the more subjective aspects of the infected wound and its management, which is very much a learned art. Nonetheless, this article has been devoted to primarily three subjects: the patient, the wound, and the surgeon.
