AbstractThis study aimed to determine the tibial cut (TC) accuracy using extensor hallucis longus (EHL) tendon as an anatomical landmark to position the total knee arthroplasty (TKA) extramedullary tibial guide (EMTG), and its impact on the TKA mechanical alignment (MA). We retrospectively studied 96 TKA, performed by a single surgeon, using a femoral tailored intramedullary guide technique. Seventeen were prior to the use of the EHL and 79 used the EHL tendon to position the EMTG. We analyzed preoperative and postoperative standing total lower extremity radiographs to determine the tibial component angle (TCA) and the correction in MA, comparing pre-EHL use and post-EHL technique incorporation. Mean TCA was 88.89 degrees and postoperative MA was neutral in 81% of patients. Pre- and postoperative MAs were not correlated. As a conclusion of this study, using the EHL provides a safe and easy way to determine the position of EMTG.

The authors present a case of a traumatic extensor hallucis longus tendon rupture sustained 2 days after hallux valgus and hammer toe correction. The ruptured tendon, separated by a 6-cm defect, was repaired using a fascia lata allograft. This case demonstrates a serious complication of a commonly performed procedure and a salvage technique useful for dealing with large tendon defects. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 92(8): 467-470, 2002)

ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to demonstrate the relationship between the deep fibular nerve and the dorsalis pedis artery to provide useful anatomical knowledge for safe surgical approaches in plastic surgery. The dissection of 30 cadaver lower limbs was undertaken to describe the relationship of the deep fibular nerve to the dorsalis pedis artery in the anterior tarsal tunnel and on the dorsum of the foot. The anterior tarsal tunnel is a flattened space between the inferior extensor retinaculum and the fascia overlying the talus and navicular. The deep fibular nerve and its branches pass longitudinally through this fibro-osseous tunnel, deep to the tendons of the extensor hallucis longus and extensor digitorum longus. Four distinct relationships of the deep fibular nerve to the dorsalis pedis artery were determined. The dorsalis pedis neurovascular island flap contains both the dorsalis pedis artery and the deep fibular nerve. Because the design of a neurovascular free flap requires detailed knowledge of the nerve and vascular supply, the data presented here are intended to help surgeons during surgical approaches to the foot and ankle.
