The main imaging differential diagnosis for lateral hindfoot impingement is sinus tarsi syndrome. It gets stuck between the femoral condyle and the patella. The majority of rotator cuff lesions result from degenerative changes in older individuals with subacromial impingement syndrome. Ankle impingement syndromes are painful conditions that may complicate ankle trauma and are characterized by chronic, progressive pain, swelling, and limitation of movement. Over time, repetitive "bumping" or impingement of the femur on the rim of the acetabulum leads to cartilage and labral damage. 186-190. 3,9 numerous operative and nonoperative treatment All underwent clinical examination and were included if anterolateral impingement ( n = 13) or a control condition ( n = 19; suspected osteochondral defect, intraarticular bodies, instability, osteoarthritis) was diagnosed.

While types of Os trigonum do not make a significant difference for PAIS formation, ossicular size is an important factor. The actual role of MRI, however, is to exclude important differential diagnoses e.g. BJR. intermalleolar ligament in patients with posterior impingement syndrome of the ankle. An area of chondral loss (red arrows) is present on the acetabular side of the joint.

First described by Morris 1 in 1943 and then by McMurray 2 in 1950, who termed the condition "footballer's ankle . Posterior Ankle Impingement (Os Trigonum Syndrome) Introduction. 2 Department of Radiology, University of Michigan Health System, 1500 Medical Center Drive-TC2910Q, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA. Arthroscopic debridement and synovectomy have been found to be highly effective for relieving symptoms and restoring functions in patients with soft tissue impingement of the anterolateral gutter (1-7), which is the most common site. MR Imaging of Ankle Impingement Syndromes. The condition is thought to be caused by anterolateral recess synovitis and capsular scarring, which may occur either subacutely or chronically after forced ankle supination [ 1 , 6 ]. There is scar tissue and synovitis within the anterolateral gutter as well as a 5-mm osteochondral loose body. Conventional MR imaging of the ankle is insensitive for anterolateral impingement. It can occur as a result of a previous plantar flexion and inversion injury and can be seen in football players, cross-county runners and dancers 1. Tap on the below button when you are Online. Anterolateral impingement syndrome of the ankle is caused by entrapment of the hypertrophic soft tissue in the lateral gutter.
