Objective: This article presents a technically simple and more accurate approach to flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tenography than any we found reported in the literature.
Conclusion: Tenography is used to evaluate and treat tenosynovitis. Standard FHL tenography protocol involves either direct percutaneous access of the FHL synovial sheath posterior to the medial malleolus or indirect filling of the FHL sheath from an injection of the flexor digitorum longus (FDL) tendon sheath, which often communicates with the FHL tendon sheath.
Objective: This study was undertaken to determine the efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty in treating patients with painful compression fractures of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae that contain intraosseous vacuum phenomena.
Materials And Methods: Nineteen cases of painful vertebral compression fractures with intraosseous phenomena occurring in 18 patients (six men, 12 women; age range, 59-88 years; mean age, 75.5 years) were identified from 393 percutaneous vertebroplasties performed in 199 patients during 32 and a half months.
