“…If the talonavicular joint is not surgically stabilised, the patient may develop recurrent tenosynovitis from further exostosis. 9 Surgery for extensor digitorum longus tenosynovitis has been reported for torsional 1 and thorn injuries. 10 Ankle tenosynovitis may further constrict the extensor retinaculum tendon; ischaemic changes within the tendon from extrinsic pressure may cause attritional rupture of the tendon.…”

“…Isolated stenosing tenosynovitis of the extensor digitorum longus tendon is uncommon. 1 Peritendinitis/tendinitis of the tendons passing under the extensor retinaculum in the ankle is a musculoskeletal injury caused by overuse, known as 'ultramarathoner's ankle'. 2,3 Inflammation occurs in the inferior extensor retinaculum at the anterior aspect of the ankle.…”

Stenosing tenosynovitis of the extensor digitorum longus tendon is an injury related to ultramarathon running. A 32-year-old male ultramarathon runner developed chronic tenosynovitis of the ankle dorsiflexors. He was diagnosed with extensor digitorum longus tenosynovitis caused by talar head impingement associated with exostosis. He failed to respond to non-operative management and decided to undergo tenosynovectomy of the extensor digitorum longus tendon. The pain was relieved without functional disturbance of the foot and ankle, and the patient returned to running 3 weeks postoperatively. At the 2-year follow-up, he was participating fully in ultramarathons.

“…Not only is this complex responsible for dorsal extension of the lateral four toes, but also for the dorsiflexion, abduction and pronation of the ankle/foot. This complex is at risk for tendinitis and tenosynovitis, especially after extensive overuse 98,99 . Moreover, failure of the inferior dorsal retinaculum can lead to spontaneous dislocation of the tendons across the dorsal ankle/foot, 100 resulting in reduced mechanical advantage and distorted function during gait.…”

Distinctive anatomical features can be witnessed in the ankle/foot complex, affording specific pathological conditions. Disorders of the ankle/foot complex are multifactoral and features in both the clinical anatomy and biomechanics contribute to the development of ankle/foot pain. The superior tibiofibular, distal tibiofibular, talocrural, subtalar, and midtarsal joint systems must all participate in function of the ankle/foot complex, as each biomechanically contributes to functional movements and clinical disorders witnessed in the lower extremity. A clinician's ability to effectively evaluate, diagnose, and treat the distal lower extremity is largely reliant upon a foundational understanding of the clinical anatomy and biomechanics of this complex complex. Thus, clinicians are encouraged to consider these distinctions when examining and diagnosing disorders of the ankle/foot.
