Purpose: To determine the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features that characterize tear of the peroneus longus tendon at the midfoot.
Materials And Methods: Medical records and MR images in nine patients with a tear of the middle segment of the peroneus longus tendon were retrospectively reviewed. All nine patients had undergone routine ankle MR imaging; three had undergone additional oblique coronal MR imaging. Surgical proof of a tear was available for three patients.
Results: Partial tear was present in four patients, and complete tear was present in five. Partial tears were characterized by heterogeneous signal intensity and thickening of the tendon. Complete tears were characterized by discontinuity of the tendon. Additional findings included fluid in the tendon sheath (n = 6), marrow edema of the lateral calcaneal wall (n = 3), enlarged peroneal tubercle (n = 3), and tear of the peroneus brevis tendon (n = 2). The extent of the tear was better assessed with oblique coronal MR images.
Conclusion: The characteristic MR imaging appearance of complete or partial tear of the middle portion of the peroneus longus tendon includes foci of increased signal intensity in the distal tendon, morphologic alterations, and/or discontinuity of tendon. Bone marrow edema along the lateral calcaneal wall may be suggestive of the diagnosis. Additional oblique coronal midfoot MR images may help in assessment of the extent of the tear.

Comparison of stop-jump muscle synergies in amateur basketball players with and without asymptomatic patellar tendon abnormalities during simulated games.
Acta Bioeng Biomech

Faculty of Sports Science, Ningbo University, Ningbo, China.
: Asymptomatic patellar tendon abnormality (APTA) is considered a precursor to patellar tendinopathy (PT), but its pathogenesis remains unclear, especially regarding changes in muscle coordination. Therefore, it is essential to explore the muscle synergy patterns in individuals with APTA. This study recorded sEMG data during stop-jump tasks in 8 APTA and 8 healthy amateur male basketball players in a simulated basketball game.

Variations of the ankle anatomy are infrequent and exist as supernumerary muscles and tendons. Often understudied and overlooked, their presence can cause many complications of the lower extremity. These muscles, although often asymptomatic, can cause great pain and complications such as tenosynovitis, tarsal tunnel syndrome, lateral ankle instability, and ankle pain when they impinge on the normal anatomy of the patient.

Background: Chronic ankle instability (CAI) has been associated with neuromuscular control dysfunction, particularly of the peroneal musculature.
Research Question: How do neuromuscular characteristics of the peroneal muscles, including corticospinal excitability, strength, proprioception (force sense) and electromyographic measures differ in individuals with CAI compared to healthy control counterparts aged 18-45?
Methods: A systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted by retrieving relevant articles from electronic databases including EBSCOhost (CINAHL Complete, AMED, SPORTDiscus), Ovid (MEDLINE, Embase), Web of Science, Scopus and Cochrane Library as well as Grey literature sources. The eligibility and methodological quality of the included case-control and cross-sectional studies were assessed by two reviewers.
Relationship between insertions of the tibialis anterior and peroneus longus and first tarsometatarsal joint degeneration.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord

Department of Anatomy, School of Life Dentistry at Niigata, Nippon Dental University, Niigata, Japan.
Background: The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationships of the tibialis anterior tendon (TAT) and peroneus longus tendon (PLT) with articular cartilage degeneration on the medial cuneiform and first metatarsal.
Methods: We examined 100 feet from 50 Japanese cadavers. The TAT was classified into 4 types based on attachment site area and number of fiber bundles: Type I, two fiber bundles with equal (within 20%) attachment site areas on the first metatarsal and medial cuneiform; Type II, with two fiber bundles and a larger (>20%) attachment site area on the medial cuneiform than on the first metatarsal; Type III, with two fiber bundles and a larger (>20%) attachment site area on the first metatarsal than on the medial cuneiform; and Type IV, with three fiber bundles.

Background And Objectives: Tibial muscular dystrophy (TMD) is an autosomal dominant, slowly progressive late-onset distal myopathy. TMD was first described in 1991 by Udd et al. in Finnish patients, who were later found to harbor a heterozygous unique 11-bp insertion/deletion in the last exon of the gene-the Finnish founder variant (FINmaj).
