Trying this again in another forum. Would really appreciate some advice, please.
Attention was directed to the dorsal medial aspect of the right lateral cuneiform, where approximately 3 cm linear incision was made, lateral to the course of the dorsalis pedis artery. The incision was deepened in the same plane paying careful attention to preserve all the vessels and nerves which were retracted and cauterized as necessary. The dissection was carried down to the dorsal aspect of the lateral cuneiform.
The four tendon branches of the Extensor Digitorum Longus tendon were tenotomized distally, and using a fiberwire, the tendon ends were whip stitched, and passed through the tendon sizer, and it was noted to be 6 mm in diameter.
By using a proper instrumentation, 4.5 mm Arthrex Bio-Tenodesis Screw was used to insert the tendon into the dorsal aspect of the lateral cuneiform. The tendon was noted to be secured to the bone and it was noted to be stable. The distal ends of the tendon branches were sutured to the Extensor Digitorum Brevis tendons.
