Ankle Tendon Injury Update: From Front to Back-Ankle Tendon Injury Update: from Front to Back

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video provides a comprehensive overview of ankle tendon injuries, focusing on the anterior and lateral ankle tendons. It discusses the anatomy, function, risk factors, and symptoms of tendon injuries. Non-operative and surgical treatment options are presented, along with the use of imaging studies for diagnosis. Several case examples are provided to illustrate different types of ankle tendon injuries and their management. Dr. Hattori discusses two cases of posterior tibialis tendon dysfunction, emphasizing the use of ultrasound for assessment and recommending conservative therapy before surgery. He briefly mentions the flexor digitorum longus tendon and its treatment options. Dr. Onishi discusses ultrasound-guided anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) repair, explaining the association between ankle ligament injury and tendinopathy. He presents biomechanical data on ultrasound-guided ATFL repair, discussing its advantages, safety, and effectiveness in restoring ankle biomechanics and improving stability. He shares clinical experiences of ultrasound-guided ATFL repair, including patient outcomes and return to activity for athletes. The video provides valuable information on ankle tendon injuries and their management, highlighting the importance of proper diagnosis and individualized treatment. Notes: Dr. Hattori and Dr. Onishi are credited for providing their expertise in the video.
