Recalcitrant Flexor Hallucis Longus Dysfunction: A Case Study Demonstrating the Successful Application of an Adaptable Rehabilitation Program With a Two-Year Follow-Up.

Flexor hallucis longus (FHL) dysfunction is a condition experienced primarily by athletes, including ballet dancers and runners. Accurate diagnosis and definitive treatment at the initial evaluation can often be difficult given the number of foot and ankle pathologies that share similar signs and symptoms. The evaluation process tends to be a diagnosis of inclusion rather than a specific pathology with an accepted rehabilitation plan.

Sonographic Findings in Subcoracoid Impingement Syndrome: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Unlabelled: Subcoracoid impingement syndrome is a rare and underrecognized cause of anterior shoulder pain. Currently, subcoracoid impingement syndrome is understood to involve impingement of anatomic structures such as the subcoracoid bursa and subscapularis tendon within the coracohumeral space, and there are no reports of sonographic findings in subcoracoid impingement syndrome other than the impingement of thickened subscapularis bursa. Here we report a case of subcoracoid impingement syndrome, including a novel sonographic finding, arthroscopic findings, and a proposed pathophysiology.

Complex regional pain syndrome type II associated with lumbosacral plexopathy: a case report.

Introduction: Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a well-known clinical entity, first described in the 1800s, consisting of pain, hyperalgesia, edema, and sudomotor changes either without (Type I) or with (Type II) a definable nerve injury. CRPS Type II is most commonly caused by high velocity missile injuries, mononeuropathies, and partial nerve transections.

Case Report: In this case, a 25-year-old soldier who sustained a blast injury causing multiple spinal compression fractures, extremity fractures, and pelvic and sacral fractures was transferred to a U.
