Surgical approaches to the forefoot for common sports-related pathologies: a review of the literature and cadaveric dissection

David Ahearne et al. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. 2010 May.

Abstract

This article reviews the published literature regarding the surgical approaches to pathologies encountered within the forefoot, including arthroscopic and open techniques, and their treatment. We have demonstrated these surgical approaches with cadavers, to identify the key anatomical landmarks and safe zones for these surgical techniques, to prevent the complications associated with their treatment.
