Radiograph of a cam type impingement. Radiograph of a pincer type impingement. Projectional radiography ("X-ray")is often considered first line for FAI. [10] Anterior-posterior pelvis and a lateral image of the hip in question should be attained. [10] A 45-degree Dunn view is also recommended. [10] [19]
X-ray can show some impingement in the sinus tarsi area. [4] Other diagnostic tests include: bone scans, CT scans, and MRI evaluation. Doctors may inject local anesthetic to localize the problem to the sinus tarsi. [3] Radiopharmaceuticals can also be used to identify inflammation. [1] Ankle arthroscopy may also be used to locate damaged tissue ...
In some, the x-ray findings may correspond to symptoms of back stiffness with flexion/extension or with mild back pain. [2] Back pain or stiffness may be worse in the morning. [ 4 ] Rarely, large anterior cervical spine osteophytes may affect the esophagus or the larynx and cause pain , difficulty swallowing [ 5 ] [ 6 ] or even dyspnea . [ 7 ]
Tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) is a nerve compression syndrome or nerve entrapment syndrome causing a painful foot condition in which the tibial nerve is entrapped as it travels through the tarsal tunnel. [1] [2] The tarsal tunnel is found along the inner leg behind the medial malleolus (bump on the inside of the ankle). The posterior tibial ...
The infrapatellar fat pad (Hoffa's fat pad) is a cylindrical piece of fat that is situated inferior and posterior to the patella bone within the knee, [1] intervening between the patellar ligament and synovial fold of the knee joint. [2]
Plain X-rays, CT scan, ultrasonography, or MRI may help with the diagnosis. [2] [11] Findings on X-ray that may be useful among those who have already reduced include a variable joint space, subluxation of the joint, or a Segond fracture. [5] If the ankle–brachial pressure index (ABI) is less than 0.9, CT angiography is recommended. [3]
Middle age is the most common age of affection, females are more affected than males, and the occurrence is often bilateral. A clinical feature of this condition is pain in the back of the heel, which is more after rest. Clinical evaluation and lateral radiographs of the ankle are mostly enough to make a diagnosis of Haglund's syndrome. [2]
Ankle X-ray is only required if: There is any pain in the malleolar zone; and, Any one of the following: Bone tenderness along the distal 6 cm of the posterior edge of the tibia or tip of the medial malleolus, OR; Bone tenderness along the distal 6 cm of the posterior edge of the fibula or tip of the lateral malleolus, OR
