Previous | Next Next
  • The goal is to obtain an index plus minus (M1=M2)
  • The head can be positioned and held in place by the plantar flexion of the toe. However, it is easier to maintain the head in place by handing a Museux or a Banaleck clamp. (6)

  • The cut is horizontal and parallel to the sole. It starts in the cartilage of the head (2 mm from the dorsal border) and should be as long as possible (2.5 to 3 cm in standard foot condition). (7)

  • The cut is performed with an oscillating saw (8)
