Peroneal tendon pathology is common among physically active individuals, with tenosynovitis, tendon subluxation, split tears and rupture. However, diagnosing these conditions, particularly peroneus brevis split tears, is clinically and radiologically challenging. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound (US) can sometimes miss split tears.

However, the frequency of reported peroneus brevis split rupture in clinical MRI examinations is unknown.
Aim: This study aimed to investigate underreporting frequency of peroneus brevis split rupture in patients with lateral ankle pain.
Article Synopsis
- Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a special type of MRI that helps doctors see tumors better, but it's not commonly used for muscles and bones yet.
- The study looked at 39 patients to see if adding DWI to regular MRI scans would help doctors agree more on tumor diagnoses.
- Results showed that while doctors generally agreed on tumor types, they found it harder to agree on DWI results, suggesting DWI might be more complicated to interpret.
