Category:ArthroscopyIntroduction/Purpose:Flexor Hallucis Longus (FHL) tenosynovitis is a common cause of posterior ankle pain, typically associated with repetitive plantar flexion activities. The purpose of this study was to report the results of patients with FHL tenosynovitis treated with posterior ankle arthroscopy using validated outcome measures and develop a zone-based classification of FHL tenosynovitis that demonstrates well correlated preoperative imaging and intraoperative findings.Methods:Posterior ankle arthroscopy was performed in 11 patients (12 ankles) with a diagnosis of FHL tenosynovitis, with patients followed for a minimum of two years (mean 44 months). Outcomes were evaluated using validated scoring measures, including visual analog scales (VAS) for pain, 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12), and the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM).Results:A zonal classification scheme based on anatomic location was developed, divided into three zones: proximal to the ankle joint, posterior t...
