Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

3.5K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Muscles of the Leg that Move the Foot and Toes

4.7K
The human leg comprises an intricate system of muscles that facilitate the movement of feet and toes. Within this system, the muscles are categorized into the anterior, lateral, and posterior compartments, each with a unique set of muscles carrying out specific functions.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment includes muscles that contribute to the dorsiflexion of the foot. This compartment houses the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, and extensor digitorum longus muscles....

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella01:16

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella

9.1K
The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Ankle Anatomy

Background:

  • Traumatic peroneal tendon subluxation and dislocation are significant injuries.
  • Understanding associated pathologic changes is crucial for effective treatment.
  • Previous surgical techniques may have limitations in addressing peroneal tendon instability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the causes, pathologic changes, and treatment outcomes of peroneal tendon subluxation/dislocation.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of superior peroneal retinacular repair combined with fibular rotational osteotomy.
  • To assess the technique's applicability in cases with concurrent ankle instability.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 11 cases (10 patients) of traumatic peroneal tendon subluxation/dislocation.
  • Surgical technique involved superior peroneal retinacular repair, with or without fibular rotational osteotomy.
  • Follow-up averaged 29 months, assessing clinical and functional outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Excellent clinical and functional results were achieved in 9 of 11 cases.
  • Patients returned to competitive sports within 3 months post-surgery.
  • One case had persistent subluxation requiring revision surgery; another experienced infection recurrence.
  • Peroneal tenosynovitis and tendon splitting were common findings, particularly in recurrent cases.

Conclusions:

  • Superior peroneal retinacular repair, with or without fibular rotational osteotomy, is a successful treatment for acute and recurrent peroneal tendon instability.
  • The technique can be combined with Broström repair for combined peroneal and anterolateral ankle instability.
  • The degree of intraoperative tendon pathology did not correlate with clinical outcomes.
