Ankle medial flexor retinaculum avulsion fracture

Ankle medial flexor retinaculum avulsion fracture

Medial flexor retinaculum injuries are not uncommon, but medial flexor retinaculum periosteal avulsion injuries are rare. This patient sustained a medial flexor retinaculum tear readily characterized at computed tomography by an associated proximal retinacular avulsion fracture from the posteromedia...

This patient sustained a medial flexor retinaculum tear readily characterized at computed tomography by an associated proximal retinacular avulsion fracture from the posteromedial tibia. Medial flexor retinaculum injury is often also associated with superficial deltoid pathology and/or medial malleolar fracture. An additional significant complication of medial flexor retinaculum tear is anterior dislocation of the tibialis posterior tendon, which heralds a tibialis posterior fibro-osseous tunnel injury.
