Tarsal tunnel syndrome caused by a flexor digitorum accessorius longus muscle: a case report and review of the literature
The flexor digitorum accessorius longus (FDAL) is a rare muscular occurrence in the lower extremity. In this case study and review of the literature the cause of tarsal tunnel syndrome by a flexor digitorum accessorius longus is described with emphasis on clinical testing methods, diagnostic imaging and both non-surgical and surgical management. A 52 year old male presented with pain and paraes...
متن کاملFlexor Digitorum Accessorius Longus: Importance of Posterior Ankle Endoscopy
Endoscopy for the posterior region of the ankle through two portals is becoming more widespread for the treatment of a large number of conditions which used to be treated with open surgery years ago. The tendon of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) travels along an osteofibrous tunnel between the posterolateral and posteromedial tubercles of the talus. Chronic inflammation of this tendon may lead...
متن کاملThe Role of Presence /Absence of Palmaris Longus and Fifth Flexor Digitorum Superfiscialis Tendons in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Background & Aims: Etiologically the causing factor of carpal tunnel syndrome is not clear and multiple contributing factors such as the presence or absence of Palmaris longus tendon have been cited. The aim of the present study was to compare patients with carpal tunnel syndrome and healthy individuals in regard to the absence and presence of Palmaris longus and fifth flexor digitarum superfic...
متن کاملZ-plasty of the flexor hallucis longus tendon at tarsal tunnel for checkrein deformity.
PURPOSES To review the outcome of Z-plasty of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon at the tarsal tunnel for checkrein deformity in 8 patients. METHODS Records of 6 males and 2 females aged 14 to 67 (mean, 39.5) years who underwent Z-plasty (lengthening) of the FHL tendon at the tarsal tunnel for checkrein deformity in the first and second toes by a single surgeon were reviewed. All patient...
متن کاملPlantar forces in flexor hallucis longus versus flexor digitorum longus transfer in adult acquired flatfoot deformity.
BACKGROUND Flexor hallucis longus (FHL) and flexor digitorum longus (FDL) tendon transfers are frequently used to restore the function of a deficient tibialis posterior tendon in stage II adult acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD). Either transfer causes some loss in toe flexion force, although the decision to tenodese the cut tendon to restore associated function remains controversial. This stud...
