Ankle impingement is a common condition occurring secondary to sprain or repeated microtrauma. Clinical symptoms are chronic pain located in the affected region and limited range of ankle motion. There are three types of ankle impingement syndrome: anterior impingement, which can be subdivided into anterolateral, anteromedial and purely anterior impingement; posterior impingement, which can be subdivided into posterior and posteromedial impingement; and calcaneal peroneal impingement which is secondary to planovalgus foot deformity. This paper evaluates physiological and clinical elements of these three types of ankle impingement syndrome as well as the role of ultrasound (US) imaging and US-guided treatment.

Autologous minced cartilage implantation in osteochondral lesions of the talus-does fibrin make the difference?
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg
January 2025
University Medical Center Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany.
Introduction: Implantation of minced cartilage is a one-step-procedure that leads to satisfactory results in osteochondral defects.
Material And Methods: A retrospective review was performed on a consecutive cohort of patients that received minced cartilage with fibrin (MCF), minced cartilage with membrane and fibrin (MCMF) and minced cartilage with the "AutoCart"-procedure (MCAC) between January 2019 and December 2023. Radiological outcome parameters were evaluated via Magnet-Resonance-Tomography (MRI) within one year using Ankle-Osteoarthritis-Scoring-System (AOSS).
Background: Hindfoot endoscopy is an effective treatment for posterior ankle impingement syndrome (PAIS) and flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon disorders. However, FHL tendoscopy, especially from the posteromedial portal, carries a risk of tibial nerve damage. A needle-arthroscopic system with a 1.

Persistent anterolateral ankle pain is a debilitating condition often associated with soft tissue impingement following inversion injuries. It can lead to significant limitations in daily activities and overall quality of life, particularly in individuals with chronic ankle instability. This systematic review examines the efficacy and safety of minimally invasive arthroscopic decompression techniques in managing anterolateral ankle impingement syndrome.

Purpose: Posterior ankle Impingement (PAI) is a condition commonly affecting athletes and individuals engaged in activities involving repetitive ankle plantar flexion. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of nonsurgical management, excluding corticosteroid injections, on the functional outcomes of football players diagnosed with PAI.
Materials And Methods: Twenty male football Players between age group of 18-30 years, clinically diagnosed of PAI, were included in this longitudinal study.

Article Synopsis
- Os trigonum (OT) is a common accessory bone in the foot that affects about 9% of people and is more prevalent in East Asia (11%), with soft tissue imaging methods like MRI and CT revealing higher rates compared to X-rays or cadaver analyses.* -
- This study analyzed 41 research articles and found that OT can be present bilaterally in about 32.7% of cases, suggesting a significant anatomical variation.* -
- There is a strong association between OT and posterior ankle impingement syndrome (PAIS), with patients having PAIS being nearly 16 times more likely to also have OT.*
