This report presents the case of a 51-year-old woman with intermittent left knee pain, especially during full flexion of the knee, which had been ongoing for 1 year. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed mild effusion and round mass at the posterior compartment without synovial changes. Computerized tomography (CT) indicated mass had homogeneous low attenuation and density measurement of -99.4±62.3 Hounsfield units (HU), correlated with a lipomatous lesion.

The plantaris muscle is spindle-shaped in the posterior compartment of the leg. It is distinguished for its small muscle belly and an exceptionally long tendon. It presents with great variability in its origin and insertion when present.

Article Synopsis
- Motor symptom laterality in Parkinson's Disease (PD) impacts both motor and nonmotor symptoms, potentially altering patient prognosis, with compensatory mechanisms in the brain's dominant hemisphere playing a key role.
- This study investigated the microstructural changes in the corpus callosum (CC), the brain's main connector between hemispheres, in 201 right-handed PD patients (split between left- and right-onset) compared to 100 healthy controls using advanced imaging techniques.
- Findings revealed reduced free water and fractional anisotropy, along with increased mean diffusivity in the CC of patients with left-side PD onset, highlighting the relationship between brain structure and disease symptoms.

Background: For complete disruption of the posterolateral corner (PLC) structures, operative treatment is most commonly advocated, as nonoperative treatment has higher rates of persistent lateral laxity and posttraumatic arthritis. Some studies have shown that acute direct repair results in revision rates upwards of 37% to 40% compared with 6% to 9% for initial reconstruction. In a recent study assessing the outcomes of acute repair of PLC avulsion injuries with 2 to 7 years of follow-up, patients with adequate tissue were shown to have a much lower failure rate than previously documented.

Background: Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) procedures have become much more common in the United States in recent years, with >40,000 UKAs performed annually. However, it is estimated that 10% to 40% of UKAs fail and thus require conversion to total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In the field of total joint arthroplasty, robotic-assisted surgeries have demonstrated advantages such as better accuracy and precision of implant positioning and improved restoration of a neutral mechanical axis.

Runners frequently suffer from medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS), often linked to excessive eccentric muscle contractions causing periosteal traction by the muscles in the deep posterior compartment. However, the effects of MTSS on these muscles and tendons remain underexplored. This study is aimed at investigating changes in muscle and tendon volumes in this compartment, as well as cross-sectional area measurements, using magnetic resonance imaging.
