MR imaging of the tendons of the foot and ankle.

Hindfoot pain from tendon pathology is common and seen in a wide range of patients from young athletes to older sedentary individuals. Magnetic resonance (MR) is an excellent technique for imaging tendons and for identifying injuries that can be treated with surgery. MR also demonstrates the presence of bone marrow edema, which is a cause of pain and often a marker for adjacent tendon injury. Finally, MR can reveal other etiologies that cause similar hindfoot pain, such as osteochondral injuries and impingement. In this article, we review the normal MR appearance of the ankle tendons and tendon sheath fluid. MR protocols for imaging the various ankle tendon groups are presented. We discuss the MR appearance of tendon pathology, including tendonosis/ tendinopathy, tenosynovitis and peritendonosis, partial and complete tears, subluxation and dislocation, and entrapment. The Achilles, medial, lateral, and anterior tendon groups are discussed separately so as to focus on the MR appearance specific to each region of the ankle.

Anatomic bases for the compression and neurolysis of the deep branch of the radial nerve in the radial tunnel.

The anatomy of the radial tunnel was studied on twenty-five elbow preparations. We noted five different elements that could affect the deep branch of the radial nerve in the radial tunnel and cause an entrapment syndrome: a capsule-tendon-aponeurotic complex on the anterior aspect of both the humeroradial joint and the radial head, the vascular arcade formed by the radial recurrent a, and its branches, the arcade formed by the medial edge of extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle, and the superior and inferior arcades of the superficial layer of the supinator muscle. These results are compared with recent anatomical and clinical data, and the relevance of a surgical approach between the extensor carpi radialis brevis and longus muscles is discussed.

Lateral subtalar dislocation: review of the literature and case presentation.

Lateral subtalar joint dislocations are rare injuries which are usually the result of a violent eversional force, driving the talar head medially and displacing the rest of the foot laterally. Associated fractures and obstruction to closed reduction are more common with lateral than medial dislocations. Avascular necrosis of the talus and navicular as well as subtalar instability may result from these injuries. Severe post-traumatic subtalar arthritis may warrant triple arthrodesis. Prompt closed reduction of lateral subtalar dislocation is recommended to avoid soft-tissue or neurovascular compromise. A short period of immobilization limits loss of subtalar range of motion. Open reduction may be required, particularly with entrapment of the posterior tibial tendon or obstructing fracture fragments. A case of lateral subtalar joint dislocation is presented.

Iatrogenic femoropopliteal graft entrapment leading to thrombus formation.

Femoropopliteal bypass graft entrapment by the gastrocnemius muscle and tendons is an unusual cause of graft stenosis or thrombosis. Before graft occlusion occurs, reduced flow may be seen either with the knee in extension or hyperextension or by passive dorsiflexion of the ankle. We report a case of a femoropopliteal bypass graft entrapment causing a thrombus in the distal graft. Duplex imaging, angiography, MRI and graft surveillance programs are useful diagnostic tools. Treatment options include dividing the occluding muscles and tendons and rerouting the graft.

Shoulder impingement syndrome: MR findings in 53 shoulders.

The shoulder impingement syndrome refers to a condition in which the supraspinatus tendon and subacromial bursa are chronically entrapped between the humeral head inferiorly and either the anterior acromion itself, spurs of the anterior acromion or acromioclavicular joint, or the coracoacromial ligament superiorly. As a result, the space for the bursa and tendon is reduced, and repeated trauma to these structures leads to bursitis and rotator cuff injury. Although pain and limitation of motion are common early findings, the diagnosis is often delayed until a complete tear of the rotator cuff has occurred. In an attempt to determine if MR can be used to depict the abnormalities associated with impingement syndrome (subacromial bursitis, supraspinatus tendinitis, and rotator cuff tear), we reviewed 107 MR scans of painful shoulders. Changes consistent with impingement syndrome were found in 53 patients (50%), 32 of whom underwent subsequent arthrography or surgery. MR was found capable of depicting several soft-tissue and bony abnormalities that have been clinically described in impingement syndrome. In regions of inflammation, we found that the supraspinatus tendon and/or the subacromial bursa were compressed by spurs (25 shoulders), capsular hypertrophy of the acromioclavicular joint (six shoulders), and/or low-lying acromion (14 shoulders). While T1-weighted MR imaging was highly sensitive to abnormalities of the supraspinatus tendon, tendinitis could be differentiated from a small tear of the supraspinatus tendon only with T2-weighted imaging. Large, full-thickness tears, especially if chronic, produced characteristic MR findings on both T1- and T2-weighted images. We conclude that MR can be used to detect several abnormalities associated with the shoulder impingement syndrome.

Unusual location of a posttraumatic ganglion and rupture of the peroneus brevis tendon: a case report.

The typical location of a peroneus brevis tendon tear has been described at the posterior margin of the fibula due to an entrapment mechanism or repetitive anterior subluxation of the tendon. A case of a posttraumatic intratendinous ganglion of the peroneus brevis tendon in the distal third of the peroneus brevis is reported. The ganglion developed from a longitudinal tear in the tendon substance after an inversion ankle sprain. This case is reported because of the unusual location. The clinical course and surgical treatment is also discussed.

Computed tomographic assessment of soft tissue abnormalities following calcaneal fractures.

Computed tomographic (CT) examinations of 50 acute calcaneal fractures were compared with a further series of 77 fractures in which the date of injury preceded the CT by 6 months or more. 42 (84%) of the fractures in the acute group and 55 (71%) in the chronic group were classified as intra-articular and they form the basis of this study. The alteration in the position of the peroneal tendons in the two groups was similar, with a 5% or less difference in each category. In the acute group the peroneal tendons were normally located in 40.4% of the cases, entrapped by bone in 11.9%, subluxed in 33.3% and dislocated in 14.2%. Structural abnormalities of the peroneal tendons and surrounding soft tissues were identified in 52.4% of the acute group and in 61.1% of the chronic group. The incidence of partial rupture of the peroneal tendons in the chronic group was approximately one third that in the acute group, but the low incidence of complete tendon rupture remained unchanged. The inference from these observations is that, in the majority of cases, partial peroneal tendon rupture is reversible, whereas complete rupture is not. Seven fractures were common to both series and from this limited group the identification of haemorrhage around the peroneal tendons in the acute phase was shown not to be related to the subsequent development of chronic stenosing tenosynovitis. Various abnormalities of the medial tendons of the hindfoot were identified in 17% of the acute group and in 18% of the chronic group. Following calcaneal fracture, CT in both the immediate post-fracture period and in the late phase can be used to detect and classify the soft tissue changes. The limitations of comparing the two groups in this study are discussed.

Entrapment of the palmar cutaneous branch of the median nerve by a normal palmaris longus tendon.

An anomalous course of the palmar cutaneous branch of the median nerve was noted in a patient with symptoms of compression of the median nerve and its palmar cutaneous branch at the wrist level. The palmar cutaneous branch of the nerve pierced the tendon of a normal palmaris longus muscle near its insertion. Decompression of the median nerve and its palmar cutaneous branch was performed, with complete relief of symptoms.

Truamatic ophthalmoplegia: a complication of fractures of the zygomaticomaxillary complex. Review of etiology with report of an unusual case.

Ocular muscle imbalance is a common complication in fractures of the zygomaticomaxillary complex. Involvement can be direct; caused by entrapment of either the muscle or tendon in the fracture; or indirect, produced by central or peripheral damage to the cranial nerves supplying the muscles, massive orbital edema or hemorrhage. A case of complete paralysis of the extraocular muscles caused by a critical reduction of the size of the orbit as a result of fracture of the zygomaticomaxillary complex is described.

Congenital entrapment of the lateral cutaneous nerve of the calf presenting as a personal sensory neuropathy.

OBJECTIVE: Presentation of an unusual case of congenital entrapment of the lateral cutaneous nerve of the calf (LCNC) mimicking a peroneal sensory neuropathy. METHODS: We report the case of as 16-year-old girl with a 3 year history of progressive tingling, numbness and pain in her right calf precipitated by athletic activities involving repeated flexion and extension of the knee. A Tinel's sign was present over the common peroneal nerve in the distal popliteal fossa but absent at the fibular neck. Motor and sensory examination of the common peroneal nerve was normal as were electrophysiological studies and MRI. RESULTS: At surgery, the LCNC, a sensory branch of the common peroneal nerve, was entrapped at a point where it pierced the tendon of the biceps femoris muscle. Transection of the part of the tendon overlying the LCNC resulted in complete and permanent relief of symptoms. SIGNIFICANCE AND CONCLUSION: The proximal location of the Tinel's sign, absence of motor or sensory deficits and normal electrophysiology suggested, preoperatively, that this was not an entrapment of the common peroneal nerve at the fibular neck but rather a more proximal abnormality likely involving only a part of the peroneal nerve or one of its sensory branches. As a result, the more proximal exposure of the peroneal nerve within the popliteal fossa revealed entrapment of the neuropathy of the common peroneal nerve or one of its branches, due to a normal nerve piercing an otherwise normal tendon. Secondly, there are no previously reported cases of surgically documented compression of the LCNC in an otherwise normal patient (i.e. non-diabetic).

Cubital tunnel syndrome due to giant cell tumour of tendon sheaths.

Cubital tunnel syndrome is one of the most common entrapment neuropathies in adults. It is mainly caused by the depression of ulnar nerve from normal structures at the elbow area. Despite the fact that several pathgological entities can be potential mechanisms of the syndrome, the pathogenesis due to benign or malignant neoplasms is extremely rare. In the present report we describe the first case of cubital tunnel syndrome due to giant cell tumour of the tendon sheaths.

Regional musculoskeletal pain. The elbow, forearm, wrist and hand.

Two main groups of soft-tissue disorders are identified: specific soft tissue syndromes and a non-specific disorder as yet not fully characterized. Specific soft tissue syndromes occur in joint, muscle or nerve and are associated with characteristic symptoms and physical signs. These include epicondylitis at the elbow, tendon disorders at the wrist and nerve entrapments such as carpal tunnel syndrome. The non-specific soft tissue syndrome is primarily described by symptoms of pain but may include muscular symptoms (such as weakness and cramp) or nerve symptoms (such as numbness, pins and needles, and burning). Agreed, validated diagnostic criteria for use in surveillance are urgently required. Biological markers are still sought; both muscle and nerve seem promising for future studies. The multifactorial aetiology of these disorders will be discussed, and guidelines to management will embrace the principles of this model. Treatments aimed at the pain in isolation are most often studied. Psychosocial and environmental influences on the presentation and persistence of pain need further evaluation.
