Incisions in the foot and ankle should allow efficient surgical approaches to the anatomic structures being addressed while preventing chronic neuritic symptoms, extensive scar contractures, soft tissue ischemia or necrosis, and chronic edema. The purpose of this report is to describe the Böhler incision, an extensile approach that provides the surgeon with easy access to the anterior surface of the distal tibia, the anterior talar dome, talar neck, talonavicular, subtalar, and calcaneocuboid joints by allowing direct visualization of these areas. The incision can be extended in both directions, if needed, or it can be used at either end, produces few complications, and closes with a cosmetically acceptable scar that does not produce pressure with shoe wear.
