During hindfoot endoscopy, the presence of an anatomical variant related to the FHL tendon has proven safer anatomically than in its absence, due to the increased distance between the FHL tendon and the tibial neurovascular bundle in the working area. However, the minimal difference observed in safety distances still poses a major risk of injury during hindfoot endoscopic procedures in all cases.
RESUMEN:El lipoma intraóseo es una lesión adiposa benigna del tejido musculoesquelético. Suele ser una lesión asintomática y de etiología poco clara. Las técnicas de imagen (resonancia magnética y tomografía computarizada) son bá-sicas para su diagnóstico y su clasificación. En este artículo se describen el caso clínico y el seguimiento de un jugador profesional de baloncesto en el que en la revisión médica previa a su fichaje se observó en la radiología simple un lipoma intracalcáneo de años de evolución.PALABRAS CLAVE: Lipoma intraóseo. Calcáneo. Lesión.
ABSTRACT:Intraosseus lipoma is a benign musculo-skeletal injury. This lesion is usually asymptomatic, with unclear etiology. Imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography are essential for the diagnosis and classification of these injuries. The present article describes the case of a professional basketball player with an intracalcaneus lipoma, which was detected radiologically during medical examination before the player was signed up. The follow-up of this player is also described.
