Title
Imaging features of symptomatic hypertrophic tuberculum peroneum
Author
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this article is to review the clinical and imaging features of symptomatic hypertrophic (TP) in a cohort of symptomatic patients. Materials and Methods: Twenty-three patients with chronic lateral ankle pain were retrospectively included in our study group. Patients underwent ultrasound (US), (cone beam) computed tomography (CB)CT or magnetic resonance (MR) examination or a combination of these examinations with a standardized protocol. Patients with an underlying fracture were excluded. The following parameters were recorded: clinical history, size of the TP on different imaging modalities, presence and grade of peroneus brevis/longus tenosynovitis and the presence of bone marrow edema at the os calcaneus on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Results: The mean width of the hypertrophic TP was 5.6 mm. Combined tenosynovitis of the peroneus longus (PL) and brevis tendon (PB) was most common, followed by isolated PL and finally PB tenosynovitis. Grade 1 tenosynovitis was most common. BME was present in 53% of the cases. Conclusion: The width of the TP is may be evaluated on the (oblique) coronal US, (CB)CT or non-fat suppressed MR images. Both US and MRI may detect and grade involvement of the peroneal tendons. By the use of fluid sensitive sequences, MRI may be of additional value to detect bone marrow edema as result of repetitive friction.
