This chapter discusses the anatomy and pathologies of major tendons of the medial ankle and plantar foot; the posterior tibialis tendon, flexor hallucis longus tendon, and the flexor digitorum longus tendon. The muscles for these tendons originate in the deep posterior compartment of the leg, along...
The medial ankle is the location of the tarsal tunnel, through which the tibial nerve courses and is sometimes compressed. Branches of the tibial nerve may also be compromised beyond the tarsal tunnel. Ultrasound helps delineate the causes of nerve injury within and beyond the tarsal tunnel. The...

Positioning of the ankle in a dorsiflexed and inverted position may reproduce pain. Imaging is performed for associated trauma as appropriate. MRI may reveal a compressive lesion or a neuroma of the nerve. Electrodiagnosis can reveal absent or low-amplitude sural sensory responses. The sural nerve...
MCL, medial collateral ligament; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging. The main goal of rehabilitation is to restore ROM, prevent stiffness, and restore a normal gait. Postoperatively, the patient wears a medial off-loader brace locked in extension to avoid valgus stress to the knee. Passive knee RO...

As found in our research, the most common injury related to the flexor tendons of the hallux are in soccer players and involve the FHL or both.23 These findings made us conclude that these injuries are either under-diagnosed or exceptional.Materon, Solangel Rodriguez...
