Abstract
Painful lesions on the plantar aspect of the interphalangeal joint of the great toe respond well to surgical excision of the accessory bone found lying superior to or within the flexor hallucis longus tendon. S everal incisional approaches are available, each with potential advant ages and disadvantages. Failure to consider each incisional approach a nd address concomitant deformities may result in a less than desirable postoperative result.
