【 摘 要 】

Category:SportsIntroduction/Purpose:The use of MRI in diagnosing peroneal tendon dysfunction can be difficult due to the anatomic orientation of the tendons and their relationship to the posterior fibula. MRI is also limited in its roll in diagnosing dislocation or intrasubstance subluxation due to the static nature of the examination. Due to these limitations Ultrasound has become increasingly more common. The purpose of this study was to identify the location of the peroneal tendons in relationship to the fibular groove during a dynamic examination in an asymptomatic population of elite United States Military Service members.Methods:We conducted a prospective cohort study composed of 41 active duty United States Army Rangers. Each subject was examined bilaterally. Subjects were placed in a lateral recombinant position and the ankle placed in a resting neutral position to visualize the tendon in a retromalleolar short-axis view. Next, maximum active ankle eversion followed by gravity inversion while the ...
