Abstract:
Painful lesions on the plantar aspect of the interphalangeal joint of the great toe respond well to surgical excision of the accessory bone found lying superior to or within the flexor hallucis longus tendon. Several incisional approaches are available, each with potential advantages and disadvantages. Failure to consider each incisional approach and address concomitant deformities may result in a less than desirable postoperative result.
