Objective: The purpose of this case report is to describe a patient with a fracture of the Stieda process.
Clinical Features: A 39-year-old woman presented with pain and swelling of her left ankle immediately following a boogie boarding accident a few days earlier. Her clinical presentation was similar to that of an ankle sprain.
Intervention And Outcome: Radiographs were ordered, and a fracture of a normal variant, the Stieda process, was identified. Non-displacement of the fracture fragment was managed with conservative treatment consisting of a short-leg cast for 6 weeks. The fracture healed without complications.
Conclusion: The importance of early recognition of this fracture helped with proper management and a favorable outcome.

Purpose: To characterize radiographic foot/ankle bony abnormalities in elite-level, asymptomatic male basketball athletes and to investigate the association between anthropometric (age, height, weight) or sport-specific characteristics (total exposures, player position, pregame ankle taping) and the prevalence of abnormal radiographic findings in asymptomatic basketball athletes.
Methods: Elite-level basketball players who underwent routine, preseason static radiographic imaging, including anteroposterior, lateral, and mortise views of the ankle were included. Radiographs were collected from asymptomatic athletes participating in preseason history and physical with negative anterior drawer/talar tilt test.

Introduction: Posterior ankle impingement is a common cause of chronic ankle pain. Although nonoperative treatment is initially preferred, there are surgical options if the symptoms are persistent. Minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures reduce surgical trauma and enable an early return to routine activities.

Article Synopsis
- - This study examines foot and ankle MRI scans of asymptomatic ballet dancers to identify the presence of bone marrow edema and determine if these findings lead to symptoms within a year.
- - Out of 62 analyzed feet/ankles, 82% showed at least one area of bone marrow edema, predominantly in the talus, with fluid observed in various ankle joints and around tendons.
- - Despite the high prevalence of abnormal MRI findings, only two dancers developed symptoms in the following year, suggesting that these findings may not always indicate future issues.

Article Synopsis
- Long-term friction of the FHL tendon sheath from sports can lead to tendinitis, causing foot and ankle pain that affects daily life; arthroscopy is useful for diagnosis and treatment.
- A 28-year-old woman had left ankle pain due to an injury, resulting in an ATFL tear; arthroscopic surgery significantly relieved her pain and restored her ability to walk and perform daily activities.
- The FHL tendon sheath can experience impingement during ankle movement, and if conservative treatments fail, arthroscopic surgery is recommended for its effectiveness and minimally invasive nature; careful surgical technique is essential to avoid complications.

Article Synopsis
- Posterior ankle impingement syndrome (PAIS) can occur alongside issues like bilateral cases and lateral ankle ligament injuries, but research on their simultaneous surgical treatments is limited.
- A study followed 76 athletic patients who had endoscopic hindfoot surgery for PAIS, analyzing outcomes based on whether they had unilateral or bilateral surgery and if they received ligament repair.
- After 2 years, all patients returned to full athletic activity, showing no significant differences in recovery times or subjective outcomes between the different surgical approaches.
