(7a) Normal patient for comparison. The pain associated with peroneal tendon pathology is posterior to the lateral malleolus, in contradistinction to patients with lateral ligamentous sprains who have more anterolateral and/or inferolateral pain. Ligaments: check the syndesmosis, the lateral and medial ligaments. CONCLUSION: MR imaging enabled detection of peroneus brevis and peroneus longus tendon tears. The peroneus brevis tendon (red arrowheads) is seen in its normal course, heading to its attachment on the base of the 5th metatarsal. Roentgenol., Jan 1997; 168: 129 133. There is a longitudinal split resulting in two components of the Peroneus Brevis tendon (Pink arrows).

Using MR imaging to differentiate peroneal splits from other peroneal disorders. Distinguishing between injuries of these structures and other causes of pain in this region is important in planning appropriate treatment, as peroneal retinacular injuries often require operative repair. In order to relieve pain and accelerate healing by taking weight off the injured area, assistive devices, such as, walking boots, crutches or canes may be recommended and prescribed. Furthermore, in reviewing 200 consecutive ankle magnetic resonance examinations, the authors discovered one additional case of this variant. Other less frequent causes of pain or swelling at this location may include a ganglion cyst10 or a soft tissue mass such as giant cell tumor of tendon sheath.11. 4, Topics in Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Vol. 54, No. Background:It is not known how peroneal tendon exploration influences results after modified Brostrm for lateral ankle instability. 43, No. 2, Foot & Ankle International, Vol. In the most common form of SPR injury (Oden classification2 Type I), the SPR is not torn, but becomes detached from the lateral malleolus together with stripping and elevation of the periosteum to which it is attached, forming a false pouch. 28, No. More distally, at the level of the peroneal tubercle, the tendons have separate tendon sheaths and separate fibro-osseous tunnels formed by the inferior peroneal retinaculum (3a).

It is formed from a confluence of the common peroneal sheath and the superficial fascia of the leg. Although the os peroneum is a normal structure (basically a pulley assisting change in direction of the tendon past the cuboid), edema or fragmentation of the ossicle can be . Abstract PURPOSE: To evaluate magnetic resonance (MR) findings of surgically proved peroneal tendon tears. Look down at your feet and lift your little toe joints up off the ground. We'll gain an understanding of the best imaging strategies utilizing MRI to assess ankle pathology, and we'll develop a checklist approach to evaluation of MRI ankle pathology. Although a small shell-like avulsion fracture off of the lateral malleolus may occasionally be found radiographically (type III SPR injury), this is absent in the majority of cases of peroneal tendon subluxation/dislocation. Several surgical techniques are in use including anatomic repair or reconstruction, with or without surgical deepening of the peroneal groove. 25, No. , Vol 25, No. Evaluating the tendons on serial images allows discrimination between tendon subluxation, dislocation, or tear. The peroneus brevis tendon (red arrowheads) is seen in its normal course, heading to its attachment on the base of the 5th metatarsal. A rare normal variant bifurcated peroneal brevis tendon can be distinguished from a longitudinal tear by proximally identifying the presence of two separate myotendinous junctions.5 Also, care must be taken in not mistaking a normal mildly crescentic peroneus brevis for a partially torn U shaped tendon. Most tears of the peroneal tendons are . This may occur at the level of the lateral malleolus, particularly following peroneus brevis tear. Splitting of of peroneus brevis tendon is more common than full thickness tear including that of the tears of the long peronius tendon. Findings were false-positive in two patients and false-negative in one, who underwent surgery anyway because unrelated abnormal MR findings were present. There is fluid along the tendon sheath. Peroneal tendon subluxation typically occurs in athletes with a sudden forceful dorsiflexion and inversion of the ankle. 1, Operative Techniques in Sports Medicine, Vol. Imaging demonstrated insertion of the peroneus brevis tendon on the calcaneal peroneal tubercle with absence of the tendon distal to the calcaneus. The tendons are medial to the lateral fibular margin.

Tendinosis less frequently involves the peroneus longus tendon. The sensitivity is 83%, and specificity is 75% for peroneus brevis tears. Longitudinal split tear of the peroneus brevis tendon. The shape of the 3, 11 October 2016 | RadioGraphics, Vol. The lower extremity venous system is divided into the superficial and deep systems, according to the relationship to the muscular fascia. 2006 Jun;34(6):986-92. When correlated with surgical findings, findings at MR imaging were correct in 12 tendons. The superior peroneal retinaculum (green arrowheads) is laterally displaced from its normal attachment at the lateral margin of the lateral malleolus, remaining attached to the fibular periosteum (blue arrowheads) which is stripped and elevated by the dislocated tendon. Patients with chronic injury and recurrent tendon subluxation may present with inability to recall a specific traumatic episode. Anatomy The peroneus longus tendon originates from thelateral condyleoftibia.interniuscular sep-tum.andproximal tlbula.Theperoneusbrevis tendon originates fromtheinteniiuscular sep-tumandthedistalfibula . 4, The British Journal of Radiology, Vol. The peroneus brevis originates from the lower fibular shaft and inserts onto the base of the fifth metatarsal. 35, No. The superior peroneal retinaculum (SPR) functions as the primary restraint to peroneal tendon subluxation and is also a secondary restraint to anterolateral ankle instability. 5, American Journal of Roentgenology, Vol. 12, Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, Vol. The most common ankle injury is a lateral ligamentous sprain. 4, Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, Vol. Most commonly this involves a spectrum of tendon degeneration and tearing,8 more often involving the peroneus brevis tendon in a longitudinal fashion as it passes under the lateral malleolus. 10, No. 4, Canadian Association of Radiologists Journal, Vol. 17, No. MRI was found to be a useful tool for detecting and grading superior peroneal retinacular injuries and providing information, important for presurgical planning, regarding common concomitant soft-tissue and osseous abnormalities of the lateral collateral ligaments, peroneal tendons, and fibular groove. 4, Seminars in Roentgenology, Vol. The SPR (green arrowheads) is elevated from its normal attachment to the posterolateral margin of the fibula. Some controversy exists about the associated role of ankle inversion or eversion. Additional inferior images (not shown) confirmed the dislocated tendon to be the peroneus longus. . 27, No. ADVERTISEMENT: Radiopaedia is free thanks to our supporters and advertisers. 1, Indian Journal of Musculoskeletal Radiology, Vol. Warmth in the affected area.

MRI provides detailed visualization of the anatomy of the lateral ankle region and distinguishes between entities which present with similar clinical findings, allowing accurate diagnosis and the choice of the optimal treatment strategy. It is also useful to be familiar with the MR imaging appearances of SPR injuries, which can be an overlooked but treatable cause of lateral ankle pain and instability. Moreover, among leg muscles involved in this process, peroneus brevis is less frequent than tibialis anterior. Peroneus Longus (Blue arrow) is normal. 2012, The British Journal of Radiology, Vol. The torn tendon is more notably distorted in shape, and often will be accompanied by adjacent segments of tendon degeneration and thickening as well as fluid in the tendon sheath.
