How to Enlarge the Approach
Introduction
https://t.me/medicina_free
The lateral approach to the base of the fifth metatarsal bone gives easy, safe access to that part of the bone. Its uses include the following:
Basal osteotomy of the fifth metatarsal bone in cases of bunionette. This procedure is indicated if the intermetatarsal angle between the fourth and fifth metatarsal bones is abnormal.
Open reduction and internal fixation of fractures or nonunions of the base of the fifth metatarsal bone. Transverse fractures are much more likely to result in nonunion than avulsion fractures due to the tenuous blood supply in that area of the bone.1 Stress fractures may also occur in athletes.
Position of the Patient
Place the patient supine on the operating table. Fix a support to the opposite side of the operating table to support the contralateral iliac wing. Next, place a sandbag under the buttock and tilt the table away from you (see Fig.
7-1). This will ensure internal rotation of the leg and bring the lateral side of
the foot into the operative field. After exsanguination, place a tourniquet on the middle of the thigh. Alternatively, use a soft rubber bandage to exsanguinate the foot, then wrap the leg tightly just above the ankle.
Landmarks and Incisions
The styloid process of the base of the fifth metatarsal bone is easily palpable along the lateral aspect of the foot. Place your fingers over the styloid process, moving them proximally and superiorly to palpate the tendon of the peroneus brevis muscle.
Make a 2- to 3-cm incision on the lateral aspect of the foot. For open reduction and internal fixation of fifth metatarsal fractures, center this

incision on the styloid process of the fifth metatarsal bone (Fig. 36-1). For basal osteotomies of the fifth metatarsal bone, make a 2-cm incision beginning at the styloid process of the fifth metatarsal bone and extending along the lateral aspect of the foot in line with the fifth metatarsal bone.
Superficial Surgical Dissection
Cut through the subcutaneous fat in the line of the skin incision. Take care to identify and preserve any small cutaneous branches of the sural nerve that lie subcutaneously. Identify the tendon of the peroneus brevis muscle as it inserts into the styloid process of the fifth metatarsal bone (Fig. 36-2).
Deep Surgical Dissection
If the approach is to be used for open reduction and internal fixation of the basal metatarsal fracture, carefully explore the fracture or nonunion site, taking care to preserve as much soft tissue attachment to the bone as possible.
If the approach is to be used for a basal metatarsal osteotomy, carefully incise the periosteum at the osteotomy site. Some periosteal stripping will be necessary to perform the procedure, but as with cases of fractures, try to preserve as much soft tissue attachment to the bone as possible.

Dangers
The peroneus brevis muscle is a broad, easily recognized structure. It should not be in any danger in this approach.
Subcutaneous sensory branches of the sural nerve are present during the superficial surgical dissection and should be identified and preserved if possible.
How to Enlarge the Approach
https://t.me/medicina_free
The approach can be extended distally to expose the entire length of the fifth metatarsal bone. Such an extension is rarely indicated in fracture surgery. Extend the incision distally along the line of the fifth metatarsal, taking care to preserve branches of the sural nerve. Identify the belly of the abductor digiti quinti muscle, and incise the fascia covering it longitudinally. Retract the skin and subcutaneous tissue dorsally and the abductor digiti quinti muscle plantarly to reveal the shaft of the fifth metatarsal bone (Fig. 36-3). Proximally, the approach may be extended either into a lateral approach to the os calcis (see Chapter 18) and lateral approach to the hindfoot (see Chapter 11).

How to Enlarge the Approach
Introduction
https://t.me/medicina_free
The dorsal approach can be employed for most of the surgeries to the metatarsophalangeal joint of the great toe for the treatment of bunions or hallux rigidus.
Its use includes the following:
Excision of metatarsal exostosis (bunionectomy) Distal metatarsal osteotomy
1
Excision of the proximal part of the proximal phalanx (Keller’s arthroplasty)
2
Soft tissue correction of hallux valgus, including reefing procedures, tenotomies, and muscle reattachments
Arthrodesis of the metatarsophalangeal joint Insertion of total joint replacements Dorsal wedge osteotomy of the proximal phalanx in cases of hallux
rigidus
The skin overlying a bunion may be red, thin, and inflamed. In extreme cases, frank ulceration with associated infection may occur. A careful assessment of the skin and vascular state of the foot is mandatory as part of the preoperative workup.
Position of the Patient
Place the patient supine on the operating table. After exsanguination, use a tourniquet placed mid-thigh. Alternatively, use a soft rubber bandage to exsanguinate the foot, then wrap the leg tightly just above the ankle (see
Fig. 1-1).
Landmarks and Incision
https://t.me/medicina_free
Palpate the head of the first metatarsal bone and the metatarsophalangeal joint, which are on the ball of the foot and its medial border. In cases of bunion, the metatarsal head is prominent medially.
Palpate the extensor hallucis longus tendon on the dorsum of the foot. When it is tight, it stands out when the great toe is passively flexed in the plantar direction. In most cases of hallux valgus, it is displaced laterally.
Begin the dorsal incision just proximal to the interphalangeal joint and just medial to the tendon of the extensor hallucis longus muscle. Extend the incision proximally, parallel, and just medial to the tendon of the extensor hallucis longus. Finish about 2 to 3 cm proximal to the metatarsophalangeal joint. Note that the final incision is straight (Fig. 37-1).
The dorsal incision avoids cutting through the thin, frequently atrophic skin overlying the medial aspect of the first metatarsal osteophyte. The disadvantage of the incision is that more soft tissue dissection is required to carry out procedures on the medial capsule. Terminal cutaneous branches of the deep peroneal nerve and saphenous nerve are also more at risk.

displaced laterally and that the sensory nerve to the medial aspect of the great
toe runs parallel to the incision. Note that the great toe is framed by branches of
the saphenous nerve medially and the deep peroneal nerve laterally.
Internervous Plane
https://t.me/medicina_free
There is no true internervous plane. The bone is subcutaneous; the two tendons that lie close to the dissection—the extensor hallucis longus and the adductor hallucis—receive their nerve supply proximal to this approach and cannot be denervated by it.
Superficial Surgical Dissection
Divide the deep fascia in line with the incision, and retract the tendon of the extensor hallucis longus muscle laterally. To enter the joint, incise the dorsal aspect of the joint capsule. The type and position of the capsulotomy depends on the procedure to be performed (Figs. 37-2 and 37-3).
Deep Surgical Dissection
Incise the periosteum of the proximal phalanx on the first metatarsal bone longitudinally. Using both sharp and blunt dissections, strip the coverings of the bone, taking care not to damage the tendon of the flexor hallucis longus muscle, which lies in a fibro-osseous tunnel on the plantar surface at the proximal phalanx, between the sesamoid bones. The extent of the deep dissection depends on the procedure to be carried out. Strip only a minimum of periosteum of the bone. Do not strip all the soft tissue attachments off the first metatarsal if the distal osteotomy of that bone is to be performed, as the metatarsal head may be rendered avascular by stripping.
