Figure 1

Ultrasound guided shaving of the interphalangeal joint ossicle of a left foot. (A) Dissection representation (tibial aspect) showing minimally invasive burr just dorsal to MHPN (medial plantar nerve). (B) Ultrasound guided shaving; PP proximal phalanx, DP distal phalanx, IO interphalangeal ossicle, asterisk * plantar plate, FHLT flexor hallucis longus tendon, white arrow showing burr (out of plane) between FHL and IO. (C) Dissection representation (plantar aspect) showing minimally invasive burr just dorsal to MHPN (medial plantar nerve); FHLT flexor hallucis longus tendon. (D) Ultrasound guided shaving; IO interphalangeal ossicle, white arrow showing burr (in-plane) between FHLT and IO.
