Thus, angiographic but no clinical improvement after thrombolytic treatment with anistreplase was found in patients with unstable angina with an excess of bleeding complications. Therefore, thrombolytic treatment cannot be recommended in patients diagnosed as having unstable angina until proven otherwise.
Dislocation of the flexor hallucis longus tendon is an exceptional occurrence. To our knowledge, this is the first case ever reported of an intermittent dislocation in a 17-year-old woman; she was a synchronised swimmer. She consulted for a right internal retro-malleolar syndrome. Voluntary "snap" was triggered by a mechanism which combined maximal ankle dorsiflexion and interphalangeal plantar flexion of the toes. Non-enhanced dynamic helical CT and axial MRI were performed, which revealed the dislocation of the right flexor hallucis longus tendon outside the posterior intertubercular talar groove. Static and dynamic imaging would appear to be required to make this uncommon diagnosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
