A modified anterior approach to the ankle.
Publication/Presentation Date
1-1-2013
Abstract
The anterior approach to the ankle is frequently used in fracture fixation, ankle arthroplasty, and various tendon reconstructive procedures. However, wound complications and trauma may lead to scarring and a suboptimal anterior ankle soft tissue envelope for healing. The author presents a modified approach to the anterior ankle in cases where scarring and soft tissue injury preclude a direct anterior incision.
