“…Tears appear as clefts or gaps in a tendinotic tendon and are often associated with caliber alterations (38) (Fig 10). Dynamic US is useful in patients suspected of having friction syndrome at a thickened retinaculum and tendon instability related to flexor retinaculum disruption, which allows anterior tendon subluxation (29,38,42).…”

“…The type 3 tear is complete, producing a fluid-filled gap or segmental absence of the tendon (Fig 14). More than 90% of PTT tears involve the retromalleolar or inframalleolar tendon, with inframalleolar tearing (including insertional tearing at the navicular bone attachment) as the most common type (28,42). Supramalleolar tears and diffuse tearing of multiple segments of the tendon are seen less frequently (42).…”

■ Describe the anatomy and function of each of the principal stabilizers of the medial arch and how their dysfunction leads to AAFD. ■ Assess foot malalignment with standard radiographic metrics and recognize imaging findings that indicate damage to the supporting structures of the foot. ■ Explain the principles of clinical staging of AAFD and the most commonly used treatment options for each stage.

“…Jain et al reported that supramalleolar pathologies are likely to be severe and more often occur in women [19]. They also concluded that those patients have an increased prevalence of coexisting findings, such as tenosynovitis [19]. Hence, complete assessment of the entire course of the tendon is crucial.…”

Conflicts, snapping and instability of the tendons are common, and ultrasound (US) is the method of choice for evidencing these conditions thanks to the possibility to perform dynamic maneuvers during imaging studies. A conflict can occur between a tendon and a bone structure, other tendons, the retinacula or pulleys. Snapping can occur due to instability caused by rupture of the retinaculum, conflict between a thickened retinaculum and a bone prominence or due to an abnormal position of the tendon. Instability can occur due to insufficient ability of the retinaculum to keep the tendons in the bone groove or its failure to hold the tendons applied to the bone. The technique for evidencing conflicts, snapping and instability of the tendons is very demanding because it requires a thorough knowledge of the US appearance and dynamic maneuvers. However, at the present time US examination completed with dynamic maneuvers is the investigation of choice for evidencing these disorders and providing the clinicians with the necessary information.Sommario Conflitti, scatti ed instabilità dei tendini sono frequenti e l'ecografia è, per la possibilità di eseguire manovre dinamiche, la metodica di elezione per obbiettivarli. I conflitti dei tendini possono realizzarsi rispetto a strutture ossee, ad altri tendini, a retinacoli e pulegge. Gli scatti possono avvenire per instabilità da rottura di un retinacolo, per conflitto con un retinacolo ispessito o con una protuberanza ossea, per uno spostamento anomalo rispetto a un altro tendine. L'instabilità può realizzarsi per insufficienza di un retinacolo nel chiudere una doccia ossea, o per insufficienza, sempre di un retinacolo, a stabilizzare i tendini contro un osso. La tecnica per l'evidenziazione di conflitti, scatti ed instabilità dei tendini è molto impegnativa, perché richiede la conoscenza della semiotica e manovre dinamiche, ma l'ecografia, completata con manovre dinamiche è, al momento attuale, l'indagine di scelta per la comprensione di queste patologie e per fornire informazioni ai clinici. ª
