• Historically, tarsal tunnel syndrome was defined as entrapment of the tibial nerve in the fibro-osseous tunnel behind the medial malleolus, and it was considered rare. (medscape.com)
  • Nevertheless, the term tarsal tunnel syndrome continues to be frequently used to define all entrapments of the tibial nerve or its branches, starting from posterior to the medial malleolus and extending distally. (medscape.com)
  • The superficial medial collateral ligament (MCL) is an extraarticular structure. (teachmeorthopedics.info)
  • The iliohypogastric nerve traverses the psoas major, piercing the lateral border of the muscle anterior to the quadratus lumborum and posterior to the kidney to traverse the lateral abdominal wall. (medscape.com)
  • The lateral collateral ligament (LCL) is an extraarticular structure. (teachmeorthopedics.info)
  • From a diagnostic point of view, the condition may be difficult to differentiate from an avascular necrosis or even a stress fracture of the navicular, but fragmentation is the result of a mechanical impairment rather than a biological dysfunction.Standardized weight-bearing radiographs (anteroposterior and lateral views) of both feet are usually enough to diagnose MWD.

  • Entrapment of the tibial nerve or one of its branches gives rise to tarsal tunnel syndrome , which is the most common entrapment neuropathy in the foot and ankle area. (medscape.com)
  • Plantarflexion at the ankle is accomplished by eight different muscles and tendons. (faoj.org)
  • American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle/hindfoot score at the last follow-up was obtained to assess functional result for all cases. (inion.com)
  • For instance, a blow to the anterior tibia might create upper tibial bruising. (teachmeorthopedics.info)
  • This force creates a posterior displacement of the tibia on the femur, potentially injuring the posterior cruciate ligament. (teachmeorthopedics.info)
  • A pop is frequently associated with tearing of a ligament, most commonly the anterior cruciate ligament, or a bone bruise. (teachmeorthopedics.info)
  • Two common examples are recurrent kneecap dislocation and recurrent subluxation after initial anterior cruciate ligament injury. (teachmeorthopedics.info)
  • This overuse pattern can be seen in all musculoskeletal tissue but is most common in bone (overuse pattern resulting in stress fracture), bursal tissues (overuse pattern resulting in bursitis), and tendon (overuse pattern resulting in tendonosis). (teachmeorthopedics.info)
