Posterolateral Approach to the Posterior Talus The posterolateral approach is used to treat pathology of the posterior aspect of the talus and ankle joint. It is well suited for open…
Posteromedial Approach to the Posterior Process of the Talus The posteromedial approach to the ankle joint is used for exploration of the soft tissues that run around the back of…
Direct Lateral Approach to the Lateral Process of Talus The lateral approach to the lateral process of talus exposes the posterior facet of the talocalcaneal joint. Because the exposure is…
Anteromedial Approach to the Talar Neck The anteromedial approach to the talar neck offers an excellent view of the medial side of the talar neck. It also permits inspection of…
Anterolateral Approach to the Talar Neck The full extent of the anterolateral approach to the ankle allows exposure not only of the ankle joint but also of the talar neck….
Lateral Approach to the Posterior Talocalcaneal Joint The lateral approach to the posterior talocalcaneal joint exposes the posterior facet of the talocalcaneal joint more extensively than does the anterolateral approach….
Lateral Approach to the Hindfoot (Posterior Part of Grice) The lateral approach to the hindfoot is used mainly to provide excellent exposure of the peroneal tubercle. It also gives access…
Lateral Approach to the Hind Part of the Foot The lateral approach provides excellent exposure of the talocalcaneonavicular, posterior talocalcaneal, and calcaneocuboid joints. It permits arthrodesis of any or all…
