We are describing a transverse incision that we have found useful in performing surgical procedures involving extensive dissection of the posterior, medical, and lateral aspects of the foot and ankle. Operative procedures using this incision have been performed on 154 feet in ninety-nine patients who were less than fifteen years old and who had an average follow-up of eighteen months. The incision is transverse and extends from the anteromedial to the anterolateral aspect of the foot over the back of the ankle at the level of the tibiotaler joint. Depending on the requirements of the procedure, either the anteromedial or posterolateral portion of the incision, or the complete incision, may be used. The incision improves visualization of the medial, posterior, and lateral aspects of the foot and ankle, while at the same time resulting in excellent healing of the wound and an improved cosmetic appearance compared with the more commonly used vertical incisions.
我们正在描述一种横向切口，我们发现它在进行涉及足踝后部、内侧和外侧广泛解剖的外科手术时很有用。使用该切口的手术已在99例年龄小于15岁的患者的154只脚上进行，平均随访18个月。该切口是横向的，从足的前内侧延伸至前外侧，跨过踝关节后方、胫距关节水平。根据手术需要，可使用切口的前内侧或后外侧部分，或整个切口。与更常用的垂直切口相比，该切口改善了足踝内侧、后部和外侧的视野，同时伤口愈合良好，外观改善。
