Different stages in the continuum of tendinosis, partial tear, and complete tear may coexist in the same tendon at adjacent levels. Some components are always present, while others are variable and not always seen on a standard MR. Peroneus quartus (PQ) is a generic term for a group of accessory muscles which arise from the National Library of Medicine Radiographics. Incidental peroneus quartus. On MRI, the normal peroneal tendons typically appear dark on all pulse sequences. 2005;25(3):587-602. The tendon returns to a normal course distally at the level of the peroneal tubercle where it remains restrained by the inferior peroneal retinaculum. This can be challenging, because the actual tear cannot be seen, only the architectural deformation. A peroneus quartus muscle was found in two patients (22%). of both the peroneus brevis tendon and the peroneus longus tendon below the lateral malleolus owing bildgebende Diagnostik und Nuklearmedizin, Nrnberger Strae 67, Schneberg, posteriorly located PLT.

In the fibular groove, the PB tendon (PBT) is typically ruptures, but asymptomatic cases have also been described. Lateral malleolar subchondral pseudo-cystic changes. The stripped periosteum forms a false pouch into which the peroneus longus is displaced. Enlargement of 5 mm may irritate the PLT and lead to tendinosis and The partial tear can progress to a complete tear, in which case three tendinous structures would be seen posterior to the lateral malleolus, the peroneus longus tendon interposed between the split portions of the peroneus brevis tendon. Both peroneal tendons should lie medial to a vertical line drawn from the lateral margin of the distal fibula.

Before Rather infrequent causes for primary tenosynovitis are The Pathophysiology of Tendon Injury. Giant Cell Tumor of the Peroneus Tendon Sheath. 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. American Journal of Sports Medicine. Picture consistent with longitudinal peroneus brevis tendon split tear with tenosynovitis. Compression of the os trigonum and surrounding soft tissues between the tibia and the calcaneus during plantar flexion can be a cause of posterior impingement. The injury can occur when ski tips suddenly become lodged in the snow and the skiers forward momentum causes passive ankle dorsiflexion. 10787 Berlin, Germany. Posterior tibial tendon injury in young patients is mainly due to trauma or overuse. The SPR may include a small, This patient has multiple stress fractures of the calcaneus. The distal end of the PLT is also visualised ligament acts as an additional stabiliser on the medial side of the tunnel [6]. 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. T2* gradient echo (right) at the ankle. Patients with chronic injury and recurrent tendon subluxation may present with inability to recall a specific traumatic episode. Patients typically present with pain and swelling along the posterior aspect of the lateral malleolus.1 They may have felt a distinct pop at the time of acute injury or may report recurrent popping or snapping with activity, particularly when ascending or descending stairs. Patients typically give a history of ankle sprain The lateral malleolar subchondral pseudocystic changes are a result of an element of osteoarthritis. fibro-osseous tunnel. sections is flat or mildly crescentic, whereas the PLT shows rounded contours [1]. Isolated injury is very rare. Another example of Achilles tendinopathy. leading to bone erosion and oedema (Figure 17) With short echo time sequences, a signal increase in the A convex or irregular RMG may predispose to source of bright signal in healthy tendons. 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. On long TE images (like T2) this artifact does also occur but less pronounced. retinaculum (SPR). Tenosynovitis can occur alone or accompany tendon pathology and may be an alternative cause for pain along the course of the peroneal tendons. In spite of some limitations, MRI is the current method of choice for imaging PB tendon frequently have irregular contours and may show increased signal intensity on MR images. Surgical repair of the superior peroneal retinaculum is often necessary for definitive treatment in active patients. The peroneus longus muscle originates from the upper fibula and courses along the lateral aspect of the ankle before turning medially beneath the cuboid. Thickening of the Achilles is seen with paratenonitis. Saupe N, Mengiardi B, Pfirrmann CW, Vienne P, Seifert B, Zanetti M. Anatomic variants associated with peroneal tendon disorders: MR The following conditions can account as or are associated with peroneus tendon injuries 1-4: Please Note: You can also scroll through stacks with your mouse wheel or the keyboard arrow keys. Peroneus tendon injuries are a common and frequently underdiagnosed spectrum of disorders seen in patients with lateral ankle pain. Notice additional injury to the ATFL in all cases.

(b) Coronal T2 fast spin echo images show discontinuity of 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. The clinical findings of SPR injury and associated chronic tendon subluxation can easily be mistaken for chronic lateral instability. It courses through the deep plantar aspect of the midfoot, supporting the transverse arch, before inserting onto the medial cuneiform and the base of the first metatarsal. Unable to process the form. The peroneal tendons are positioned posterolaterally and function as evertors and plantar flexors as well as dynamic stabilizers of the foot and ankle. The spectrum of PBT injuries ranges from tendinosis (Figure 11) to complete tendon ruptures (Figure 12). It is formed from a confluence of the common peroneal sheath and the superficial fascia of the leg. the hindfoot, the PLT normally undercrosses the PBT and runs plantar and deep (medial) to it (Figure 3).

Split tears are associated with inversion injuries, most likely due to greater force on these tendons after ligamentous injury. Plantar fasciitis, the most common cause of heel pain in the athlete, is a low-grade inflammation involving the plantar aponeurosis and the perifascial structures. On the fatsat images edema is present in the os trigonum and surrounding soft tissue. B and C clearly show disruption of fibers, so these are grade 3 injuries.

The peroneus quartus muscle. There is a longitudinal split resulting in two components of the Peroneus Brevis tendon (Pink arrows). The final diagnosis is commonly delayed. Three fat sat axial images of the achilles tendon. Longitudinal tearing of the peroneus brevis tendon, or peroneal splits,6 can be diagnosed when alteration of the peroneus brevis morphology is seen in the peroneal groove on careful sequential image inspection. Complete rupture of the J Bone Joint Surg Am. There is also a fracture of the malleolus tertius (blue arrow). On these images we can recognize the close relationship between the deltoid ligament and the periosteum of the medial malleolus and the flexor retinaculum. The peroneus brevis (PB)tendon is more likely to get injured than the peroneus longus (PL)due to its crowded location at the level of the retromalleolar groove. Tenosynovitis in the peroneal tendon sheath is also present. More proximal, edema is seen around the membrana interossei. Four axial proton density fast spin echo sections through the lateral ankle. (a) Three sagittal short tau inversion-recovery, two sagittal and one axial to the peroneus brevis tendon and the peroneus longus tendon. On sagital images the achilles tendon should be a straight line without any fluid around it and no focal thickening. Therefore it is best just to describe a tendon abnormality as tendinopathy without trying to further specifying the abnormality. cross-sectional MRI findings in tendinopathies caused by overuse or trauma. The deltoid or medial ligament is more difficult to evaluate, since seven components have been described. Correlation with the T1-weighted image (6b) reveals the false pouch to contain fluid rather than fat. Tendinopathies or tears of the PBT are found in young athletes as well as in semimembranosus distal tendon avulsion injury. Normal variant anatomy in this region may include a peroneus quartus muscle, a low-lying peroneus brevis muscle belly, or an os peroneum.4. tubercle (>5 mm). Painful os peroneum syndrome: a spectrum of conditions responsible the tendons towards the main magnetic field is assumed to exclude the magic angle effect. Traumatic injuries to the by Kiley D. Perrich et al. At the time the case was submitted for publication Magdalena Chmiel-Nowak had no recorded disclosures. enough evidence to support this view [11], the Results: When correlated with surgical findings, findings at MR imaging were correct in 12 tendons. The orientation of the tendons along the medial and lateral malleolus can cause the 'magic angle artifact' to occur. The peroneal tubercle: description, classification, and relevance to OP may show oedematous marrow changes in chronic PL tendinopathies (Figure 18). peroneus brevis tendon (PBT), with the peroneus longus tendon (PLT) left intact (arrow). The pathophysiology of tendon tears and ruptures is uncertain but is thought to be the end-point of tendinopathyin most cases. View Roberto Schubert's current disclosures, see full revision history and disclosures, MRI of tendon injuries about the hindfoot. Both patients have had an eversion injury, with stretching of the deltoid ligament. Acute, limited tears of a single peroneal tendon may be debrided and repaired. Roentgenol., Sep 2003; 181: 890 891. Case study, Radiopaedia.org (Accessed on 02 Jun 2023) https://doi.org/10.53347/rID-18536. The tendons share a common tendon sheath above the level of the tip of the fibula and are held in place by the superior and inferior peroneal retinacula. Hyer CF, Dawson JM, Philbin TM, Berlet GC, Lee TH. However, with conservative therapy there is a high incidence of recurrence, particularly in young athletes. The torn peroneus brevis tendon is seen as a C-shaped structure on axial planes (boomerang sign) partially encasing the peroneus long tendon. Schematic diagram of T1 and T2 weighted Proton density fast spin echo axial image of the lateral ankle. brevis tears. T2* (left) and coronal T2 weighted Caudally, it is connected to the Spring ligament, which is the superomedial part of the calcaneonavicular ligament. On the image in the middle there is a deltoid ligament injury with separation of the periosteum or "periosteal stripping". Normal variants and diseases of the peroneal tendons and superior J Foot Ankle Surg. Tendons: check the tendons using the four quadrant approach; Anterior tibiofibular ligament or anterior syndesmosis, Posterior tibiofibular ligament or posterior syndesmosis. The diagnosis of dislocation of the peroneal tendons is made when either or both tendons are not identified in their normal anatomic positions posterior to the lateral malleolus and the diagnosis of complete tendon rupture and retraction is excluded. fat-saturated MRI (left). You can enlarge the image by clicking on it. 3. 8600 Rockville Pike The vast majority of injuries are Type I, without an actual tear of the retinaculum. distal fibula and run medial and posterior to the PBT and PLT within the peroneal compartment (Figure 7). On the axial image, the edema is localised around the insertion site of the posterior syndesmosis. The foot is positioned at Hobby JL, Tom BD, Bearcroft PW, Dixon AK. sections through the lateral malleolus. (top to bottom, left to right) Coronal T1 short tau Notice that there is also a grade 2 tear of the ATFL. The normal periosteum (blue arrowhead) is not elevated or thickened and cannot be distinguished from the fibular cortex. The extensor tendons are rarely injured. retrotrochlear eminence of the calcaneus [6]. Intrasheath subluxation of the peroneal tendons. Scroll through the image stack for the ligamentous anatomy in the axial plane. Usually this is best appreciated on fatsat images. Partial or split tears in the middle portion of the PLT (Figure 16) often occur in the presence of a hypertrophied peroneal When the fracture is not seen on the T2W fatsat-images, look at the non-fatsat T2W or the T1W- images for a hypointense fracture line. hamstring origin complex (see: ischial avulsion injury) peroneus brevis rupture. 3 Eckert WR and Davis EA Jr. ADVERTISEMENT: Supporters see fewer/no ads. 2. Given that normal tendons hardly ever get torn as a result of a single trauma, anatomical Reference article, Radiopaedia.org (Accessed on 02 Jun 2023) https://doi.org/10.53347/rID-69904, Case 4: extensor digitorum communis tendon distal portion rupture, Case 5: extensor digitorum communis tendon distal portion rupture, see full revision history and disclosures, semimembranosus distal tendon avulsion injury, Patte classification of rotator cuff tendon retraction. weighted axial GRE images through the ankle and hindfoot and coronal T2 13 Maffulli N, Ferran NA, Oliva F, Testa V. Recurrent Subluxation of the Peroneal Tendons. There is subtle thickening of the cortex and some infiltration of the subperiosteum. The pathogenesis of these disorders is different, but the clinical presentation and imaging features are not always distinctive. inserts most typically onto the aponeurosis of the Achilles tendon or the lateral calcaneus (Figure 2). Roentgenol., Jan 1997; 168: 129 133. Peroneus brevis tendon tears can be acute or chronic, and may be asymptomatic or associated with lateral ankle pain and/or instability. Small published case series include. Am. This probably represents a mild strain (grade 1). 6 Schweitzer ME, Eid ME, Deely D, Wapner K, and Hecht P. Using MR imaging to differentiate peroneal splits from other peroneal disorders. Surgical repair of the spring ligament is increasingly being recognized as an important management component of the adult-acquired flatfoot. In the middle and right we see two examples of cashew nut deformity, indicative of partial split rupture. At the time the article was last revised Bahman Rasuli had Several surgical techniques are in use including anatomic repair or reconstruction, with or without surgical deepening of the peroneal groove. At the time the case was submitted for publication Mostafa Mohamed had Fluid is seen along its site of origin (green arrowheads). flexioninversion of the foot. An important injury that may have a similar clinical presentation and is often misdiagnosed as ankle sprain is that of peroneal tendon dislocation with injury of the superior peroneal retinaculum. lateral surface of the fibula and the intermuscular septa in the distal two-thirds of the lower leg. Tendon tears and ruptures are common and sometimes disabling injuries. The management is usually surgical where the PB tendon is repaired and sometimes a peroneus quartus is excised. This patient presented with Achilles tendinopathy is most likely due to a series of microtears that weaken the tendon and cause swelling of the tendon (image on the right). FOIA The posterior tibial tendon is the most commonly injured tendon. They are thought to be induced by repetitive stress and friction against the bone in 22%. This is edema due to a ligamentous avulsion injury. MR can show edema around the insertion of the plantar fascia on the calcaneus and spurring. inflammatory conditions of the tendon sheath, e.g. It is the main differential diagnosis of lateral ankle pain, next to capsular and ligamentous injuries. Peroneus Longus and Brevis Tendon Tears: MR Imaging Evaluation. The frayed out and retracted from its normal position, and no healthy tendon slips are visible at the In A there is edema and thickening around the anterior and posterior syndesmosis (arrow), indicative of acute grade 2 injuries. Radiographics. of the SPR or associated split tears of the PBT in subluxations [1,5]. Minimal surrounding fluid signal is also seen. Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil. In one study of 73 cases,3 the authors did not find any retinacular tears. In four (80%) of these five cases, the peroneal tendons were either subluxed or dislocated. MRI is the most reliable non-invasive test to determine the extent of degenerative and located near the lateral calcaneocuboid joint, proximal to the plantar inflection of the PLT (Figure 9). situated adjacent to the bone, anteromedially to the PL tendon (PLT). These tendons may be affected by inflammation ( tendonitis) or tears. The SPR originates from the lateral margin of the distal fibula and the RMG and J. Recurrent subluxation of the peroneal tendons. Longitudinal split tear of the peroneus brevis tendon. crowding under the SPR, predisposing to PBT pathology [1,3,9]. Chronic peroneus brevis tendon (PBT) split tear with anterior migration of the peroneus longus 2015;35(1):179-99. Tears of the PBT rarely present as isolated findings tubercle, which separates the peroneus brevis tendon (short arrow) and the peroneus longus tendon 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. 5 and 9). temporary and can be elicited by a forceful eversiondorsiflexion manoeuvre. MRI is highly accurate in predicting partial or complete PLT tears, especially Tendinosis less frequently involves the peroneus longus tendon. peroneus longus tendon pathology. been exhaustively described [3]. Sagittal PD fat sat. In this patient there is very subtle edema in the distal fibula. A radiologic and histologic study of the os peroneum: prevalence, J. This is the most commonly injured ligament of the ankle and it is also the first to be injured on the lateral side. The achilles tendon does not have a tenosynovial layer but a paratenon. The OP transverse MRI sections. [7]. US may depict the tear clearly but MRI is usually needed to assess for any associated cause of crowding that predisposed the injury like a peroneus quartus muscle (an accessory muscle)or a hypertrophied PL or a nearby torn ligament.
