“…Instrumentation on the lateral side of the FHL tendon pushing the tendon medially has been proposed as a safety measure. 16,19 However, to reach the ganglion and the FDL tendon, the FHL tendon needs to be medially displaced significantly by the shaver. The FHL tendon can compress the tibial nerve by this maneuver.…”

Abstract:The tarsal tunnel ganglion is a cause of posterior tarsal tunnel syndrome. Open resection of the ganglion calls for release of the flexor retinaculum and dissection around the tibial neurovascular bundle. This can induce fibrosis around the tibial nerve. We report the technique of endoscopic resection of the tarsal tunnel ganglion. It is indicated for tarsal tunnel ganglia arising from the adjacent joints or tendon sheaths and compressing the tibial nerve from its deep side. It is contraindicated if there is other pathology of the tarsal tunnel that demands open surgery; if the ganglion compresses the tibial nerve from its superficial side, which calls for a different endoscopic approach using the ganglion portal; or if an intraneural ganglion of the tibial nerve is present. The purpose of this technical note is to describe a minimally invasive approach for endoscopic resection of the tarsal tunnel ganglion.

“…9 Radiographs are nonspecific and are, therefore, of no benefit in diagnosing adhesive capsulitis. 5 Although there is no established criteria for diagnosing ACA on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in the appropriate clinical setting a paucity of ankle joint fluid and thickening of the joint capsule on MRI (Figs. 1 and 2), as seen in conventional ankle arthrography and non-contrast shoulder MRI in shoulder adhesive capsulitis, will raise the suspicion for ACA.…”

“…The onset of symptoms is variable and may present anywhere from immediately after an incident to weeks later, when the patient resumes weight bearing and ambulation after having been immobilized for an extended amount of time. 5,6 Observation of significant deficits of ankle ROM is the key to further investigation into a possible diagnose of adhesive capsulitis. A study by Lui, et al, recorded ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion in patients with diagnosed ankle adhesive capsulitis and found that ankle dorsiflexion was limited to an average of 1°, while plantar-flexion averaged 16° preop.…”

“…In addition to limited ankle ROM, calf atrophy may also be present if there was prolonged immobilization. 5 Currently, conventional arthrography is the most accepted diagnostic tool. In 1976, Goldman, et al, proposed arthrography criteria for diagnosing adhesive capsulitis of the ankle, which included the following:…”

dhesive capsulitis is a broad term that can be confusing at times since it is often used synonymously for "frozen shoulder". In order to better understand adhesive capsulitis of the ankle, we begin with a brief review of a better documented phenomenon concerning the shoulder.Adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder is a common condition that will cause pain and restrictions during active and passive range of motions (ROM).
