Introduction
https://t.me/medicina_free
The plantar approach for a digital neuroma gives excellent exposure of the common plantar digital nerve. The approach can be extended proximally to expose more of the nerve. The major disadvantage of the incision is that it creates a plantar scar. Healing time is often longer than the dorsal approach. Plantar scars are occasionally sensitive.
The alternative surgical approach—the dorsal approach—divides the deep transverse metatarsal ligament, which may be an important source of pathology in the creation of Morton’s neuroma. For that reason, the plantar approach for Morton’s neuroma is usually reserved for exploration of a recurrent neuroma rather than as the primary procedure for treating this pathology.
Position of the Patient
Place the patient supine on the operating table. Apply a tourniquet either at the midpoint of the thigh or just above the ankle after the leg has been exsanguinated. Alternatively, use a soft rubber bandage to exsanguinate the foot, then use the bandage as a tourniquet at the ankle (see Fig. 1-1).
Landmarks and Incision
To palpate each metatarsal head, place the thumb on the plantar surface and the index finger on the dorsal surface of the foot. The skin under the metatarsal heads may be thickened; this may also be used as a landmark.
Make a 4- to 5-cm longitudinal incision from the plantar aspect of the sole of the foot overlying the interspace to be explored. Begin the incision just distal to the level of the metatarsophalangeal joint and proceed proximally (Fig. 46-1).

Internervous Plane
There is no internervous plane. The tendon of flexor digitorum longus that is exposed during the approach receives its nerve supply well proximal to the site of surgery.
Superficial Surgical Dissection
Deepen the approach in the line of the skin incision (Fig. 46-2) and identify the flexor tendons running to the two affected toes. Using blunt dissection

between the flexor tendons, develop a surgical plane.
Deep Surgical Dissection
Identify the common plantar digital nerve running with its artery between the flexor tendons. When using the approach for revision surgery, start by identifying the common plantar digital nerve well proximal to the previous surgical field away from the scarring caused by the primary surgery. Trace the nerve from proximal to distal, identifying its bifurcation (Fig. 46-3). When excising the neuroma, ensure that the proximal section of the nerve is proximal to the metatarsal heads. Excision of the neuroma, particularly in revision surgery, should always be confirmed histologically.

Dangers
https://t.me/medicina_free
The long flexor tendons of the toes are easily identifiable in the superficial surgical dissection. The artery running with the common plantar digital nerve can be sacrificed during excision of the digital nerve.
The danger of the approach lies in the creation of a plantar scar. The approach should be avoided when atrophic skin is present as well as in cases of peripheral vascular disease, most notably diabetes mellitus.
How to Enlarge the Approach
The approach is specifically designed for exploration of digital neuroma, thus cannot be extended. The key to adequate exposure is to identify the nerve proximally well away from the site of previous surgery, then trace it into the area of the previous surgery, where there will be extensive scarring.

Dorsolateral Approach to the Flexor Sheathes of the Second to Fifth Toes

How to Enlarge the Exposure
Introduction
https://t.me/medicina_free
The dorsolateral approach to the second to fifth toes provides safe access to the flexor sheath and its contents. It is used mainly for flexor tenotomy or flexor-to-extensor tendon transfer in the treatment of flexible hammer toe deformity (curly toes). The deformity must be correctible by passive manipulation. The approach lies dorsal to the neurovascular bundle and therefore does not endanger this vital structure.
Position of the Patient
Place the patient supine on the operating table (see Fig. 1-1). Good lighting and a good exsanguinating bandage and tourniquet are essential. The tourniquet may be placed on the mid-thigh. Alternatively, use a soft rubber bandage to exsanguinate the foot, then wrap the leg tightly just above the ankle. The use of a toe tourniquet is not advised, as this will interfere with the incision and tether the tendons.
Landmarks and Incisions
Palpate the proximal interphalangeal joint of the toe by passively flexing and extending the joint to confirm its position. The key surgical landmark is the junction between the wrinkled dorsum and the smooth plantar skin on the side of the toe.
Make a 2-cm longitudinal incision on the lateral aspect of the toe running along the junction between the wrinkled dorsum and the smooth plantar skin. Center this incision over the proximal interphalangeal joint (Fig. 47-1).

Internervous Plane
There is no true internervous plane because no intermuscular interval is utilized. The sensory nerve supply to the toe comes from two sources: the dorsal digital nerve and the plantar digital nerve. Because the skin incision marks the division between these two supplies, it causes no significant area of hypoesthesia.
Superficial Surgical Dissection
Develop a slight plantar skin flap by incising the subcutaneous flap in line with the skin incision. The flap overlying the proximal interphalangeal joint itself is quite thin; take care not to incise the joint itself (Fig. 47-2). Continue the dissection toward the midline of the toe, aiming slightly in a plantar direction. The main neurovascular bundle lies in the plantar flap. Expose the sheath covering the flexor tendons.
Deep Surgical Dissection
Incise the fibrous flexor sheath longitudinally to expose the underlying tendons (Fig. 47-3). At the level of the proximal interphalangeal joint, the superficial flexor tendon splits into two and wraps around the long flexor tendon. If a flexor tenotomy or flexor-to-extensor transfer is to be performed, take a blunt hook and insert it around the long flexor tendon. Putting the hook toward you will passively flex both the proximal and distal interphalangeal joints and allow the long flexor tendon to be divided well distal to the site of the dissection (Fig. 47-4). If a flexor-to-extensor transfer is to be carried out, develop an epiperiosteal plane around the base of the middle phalanx, following the bone around onto its dorsal surface. The common extensor tendon can then easily be visualized.
