Theselatter incisions enabled the operator to make a flap abouttwo inches in length from the integument of the sole. Inthe next place a circular flap of integument was formed be-tween the two malleoli posteriorly, the lower border of theflap reaching to the insertion of the tendo Achillis. Thisflap being turned upward, the tendon was cut through, andthe OS calcis, having been disarticulated from the astragalusand cuboid bones, was removed, together with the integu-ment of the heel included between the two incisions. Thelateral ligaments connecting the astragalus with the tibiaand fibula w^ere next divided, and the knife was carried intothe joint on each side, extreme care being observed to avoidwounding the anterior tibial artery, which w^as in view.
