This study aimed to evaluate the presence of adipose tissue surrounding the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon through gross dissection and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Grossly, we observed the FHL tendon and surrounding tissues in nine cadavers. Using MRI, we quantitatively evaluated each tissue from the horizontal plane in 40 healthy ankles.

- The case report focuses on using musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging to assess and improve knee stiffness in a patient after total knee arthroplasty.
- An 82-year-old woman was treated for limited knee flexion affecting her daily activities, and ultrasound helped identify the issue as decreased tissue movement in the suprapatellar pouch.
- After ultrasound-guided passive manipulation, her knee flexion increased and she regained the ability to climb stairs, showing significant improvement in mobility and daily functions.
Article Synopsis
- Repeated high-impact landings can cause injuries and reduce athletic performance, prompting the need for effective shock absorption techniques.
- This study investigates how increasing the activity of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) muscle through flexing the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint at landing affects ground reaction forces (GRFs).
- Findings show that MTP joint flexion decreases peak GRFs and increases FHL activity, suggesting this technique may help prevent injuries by better absorbing impact forces during landing.
