From near the anterior end of this incision, a second is made atright angles to it, yiassing downwards to the beginning of the grooved inter-nal surface of the os calcis. A flap is thus marked out, which includes thecut peronei tendons, and which is then reflected from the bone ; the ligamentsof the calcaneo-cuboid joint are next divided, when the calcaneum itself canbe slightly displaced inwards^ thus rendering easier the division of the variousligaments which unite it to the astragalus.
