Incision and Exposure
A 5cm dorsal medial incision is made just medial to the extensor hallucis tendon | Figure 1. Appropriate dissection is used to expose the joint capsule. Careful preservation of the superficial vessels and nerves is undertaken. The skin is retracted and an incision is made to the bone, in-line with the skin incision. |
