This surgical approach should not endanger any significant structures. Complications can occur if patient selection is poor, particularly with regard to the vascularity of the toe undergoing surgery.
The digital nerve and vessels should not be at risk as they lie well plantar to the operative field in these fixed flexed joints.
The tendon of the flexor digitorum longus may be injured if the excision of the proximal end of the middle phalanx is not performed carefully. The tendon is closely applied to the plantar aspect of the middle phalanx. Ensure that bone cutters do not blindly stray in a plantar direction.
How to Enlarge the Approach
The transverse approach cannot be enlarged in any way. Improved visualization of the joint can be achieved by excising more bone, usually from the proximal phalanx. However, excise only the amount of bone required to fully correct the deformity. Excising too much bone may result in a nonunion of the osteotomy.

Introduction
The longitudinal approach to the proximal interphalangeal joint of the
second to fifth toes is used for proximal interphalangeal joint fusion in the treatment of fixed hammer toe deformities. The longitudinal midline incision gives excellent access to the extensor tendon and the underlying proximal interphalangeal joint.
The advantage of the longitudinal incision is that it allows both proximal and distal extensions if other procedures are to be carried out. The disadvantage of the longitudinal approach is that following correction of the fixed flexion deformity, there is often some redundant skin; wound closure thus must be done carefully to avoid creating a space under the skin that could be the site of troublesome postoperative hematoma.
The skin over the dorsal aspect of the interphalangeal joint of a toe with a hammer toe deformity is often red and thinned. In extreme cases, frank ulceration with associated infection may occur. The presence of ulceration is a contraindication to surgery. The skin lesion should be treated before surgery is considered.
As with all surgical procedures carried out on the foot careful vascular assessment of the patent is indicated, especially in high-risk cases such as diabetes mellitus.
Position of the Patient
Place the patient supine on the operating table. The foot normally lies in a degree of external rotation. If the procedure is to be carried out on the lateral digits, place a sandbag under the buttock of the affected side to correct the external rotation and bring the toes more easily into the plane of the surgical 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 (see Fig. 2-1). The use of a rubber tourniquet around the toe does restrict access to a minor degree, but has the advantage that it can be used in conjunction with a ring block local anesthesia.
Landmarks and Incision
Passively flex and extend the proximal interphalangeal joint to identify its position.
Incision
Make a 2-cm longitudinal incision on the dorsum of the toe centered on the proximal interphalangeal joint (Fig. 49-1).

Internervous Plane
There is no true internervous plane. The extensor digitorum longus tendon receives its nerve supply well distal to the operative field, thus cannot be denervated by it.
Superficial Surgical Dissection
Incise the extensor tendon in line with the skin incision (Fig. 49-2). Carefully retract the divided tendon to expose the dorsal capsule of the proximal interphalangeal joint. Note that because this capsule is very thin, it frequently is incised when the extensor tendon is divided.
Deep Surgical Dissection
Flex the proximal interphalangeal joint to cause the proximal end of the proximal phalanx to protrude through the incised extensor tendon (Fig. 49-
3). If a proximal interphalangeal joint fusion is to be carried out, excise the
distal end of the proximal phalanx, removing approximately 4 to 5 mm of bone (Fig. 49-4). Apply longitudinal traction to the toe and flex the joint again, pushing the distal end of the toe proximally and dorsally. The proximal end of the middle phalanx with its articular surface will now be visible through the split extensor tendon. Excise the articular surface of the middle phalanx using sharp bone cutters (Fig. 49-5). Take care not to let the bone cutters protrude too far in a plantar direction. The tendon of the flexor digitorum longus is very close to the plantar capsule of the joint, running in a groove on the plantar surface of the middle phalanx.

Dangers
The tendon of the flexor digitorum longus is in danger during excision of the articular surface of the proximal end of the middle phalanx. Always ensure that excision of the articular surface is carried out under direct vision and do not use sharp bone cutters blindly.
How to Enlarge the Approach
The approach can be enlarged both proximally and distally to expose the metatarsophalangeal joint and the distal interphalangeal joint of the digit. Such extension is rarely required, however.
