This review explores the novel perspective that the intermediate tendon of the digastric muscle may function as an anatomical trochlear pulley system within the human body, challenging the traditional understanding of trochlear systems. While widely recognized trochlear units include structures like the medial part of the humerus and the superior oblique muscle of the orbit, the review focuses on the unique anatomical arrangement of the intermediate tendon of the digastric muscle in connection with the anterior and posterior bellies of the digastric muscles. Despite current debates within the anatomical community about labeling the digastric muscles as having a trochlea, this paper delves into the scientific definition of a trochlear pulley system, presenting the intermediate tendon of the digastric muscle as a potential trochlea.

Background: Midfoot pain is common but poorly understood, with radiographs often indicating no anomalies. This study aimed to describe bone, joint and soft tissue changes and to explore associations between MRI-detected abnormalities and clinical symptoms (pain and disability) in a group of adults with midfoot pain, but who were radiographically negative for osteoarthritis.
Methods: Community-based participants with midfoot pain underwent an MRI scan of one foot and scored semi-quantitatively using the Foot OsteoArthritis MRI Score (FOAMRIS).

Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the effectiveness of combining coalition resection and calcaneal lengthening osteotomy to treat symptomatic talocalcaneal coalition in children with painful flat feet.
- An analysis of 10 pediatric patients showed significant improvements in foot deformities and pain levels, with most enjoying good postoperative outcomes after an average follow-up of 54 months.
- The research concludes this combined surgical approach is effective, with minimal complications and no requirement for additional surgeries post-treatment.
Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection on the Treatment of Achilles Tendinopathy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background: Achilles tendinopathy is a common condition without a reproducible and timely treatment modality. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection has been proposed as an enticing treatment option, but there is no consensus regarding its effectiveness.
Purpose: To pool the available data and evaluate the evidence of the effect of PRP injections on Achilles tendinopathy.
