“…The ankle retinaculum is the focal thickening of the crural fascia that stabilizes the tendons to prevent bowstringing during muscle contractions [38]. The retinacula of the ankle and foot comprise the superior and inferior extensor retinacula (SER and IER) ( Figure 16A), the superior and inferior peroneal retinacula (SPR and IPR) ( Figure 16B), and the flexor retinaculum (FR) ( Figure 16C).…”

“…The SER is a transverse rectangular band proximal to the ankle joint. It attaches medially on the anterior crest of the tibia and medial malleolus and laterally on the lateral crest of the fibula and the lateral malleolus [38,39]. From medial to lateral, it covers the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, and peroneus tertius tendons.…”

“…The oblique inferomedial band arises from the apex of the frondiform ligament and is directed towards the naviculocuneiform joint. The oblique superolateral band, if present, is usually the thinnest and crosses over the AITFL to insert on the lateral malleolus [38,39].…”

Ankle/foot pain is a common complaint encountered in clinical practice. Currently, due to the complex anatomy, the diagnosis and management of the underlying musculoskeletal disorders are extremely challenging. Nowadays, high-resolution ultrasound has emerged as the first-line tool to evaluate musculoskeletal disorders. There have been several existing protocols describing the fundamental sonoanatomy of ankle/foot joints. However, there are certain anatomic structures (e.g., Lisfranc ligament complex or Baxter nerve) which are also clinically important. As they are rarely elaborated in the available literature, a comprehensive review is necessary. In this regard, the present article aims to brief the regional anatomy, illustrate the scanning techniques, and emphasize the clinical relevance of the ankle/foot region.

“…At the malleolus, the two tendons are reflected on the anterior aspect of the external malleolus where they pass in an osteofibrous groove located anterior to the malleolus and posteriorly to the superior retinaculum [3,4,9,10] (Fig. 2b).…”

“…It is often slightly protruding and sometimes hypertrophied, thereby forming a kind of bone tunnel that surrounds part of one of the peroneal tendons. The peroneal brevis tendon and the peroneal longus tendon lie above and below the peroneal tubercle where they are stabilized by a second retinaculum (inferior retinaculum) which arises from the lateral aspect of the calcaneus and inserts on the apex of the tubercle [9,10].…”

Peroneal tendon injuries are common also due to the recent increase in sports participants involved in amateur activities. Clinical evaluation generally provides a diagnosis, but diagnostic imaging is often required to confirm a clinical suspicion and make correct management decisions. Ultrasound (US) imaging is the method of choice in the study of peroneal tendon injuries due to the high resolution of the images and the possibility of performing dynamic studies. US is furthermore non-invasive and inexpensive and provides the possibility of performing US-guided steroid infiltration of the tendon sheath or the surrounding tissues. The present paper will address the normal anatomy of the peroneal tendons and related structures, US imaging techniques and the various conditions and injuries which may affect this anatomic region. Also more expensive imaging techniques, such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, will be mentioned as well as their indications; however, they are required only in rare cases in which diagnosis remains uncertain or for pre-operative assessment.

Disorders of retinacula are frequent in acute and repetitive microtrauma of the ankle. Ultrasound (US), thanks to its spatial resolution and dynamic capabilities, is routinely used in the evaluation of the posttraumatic ankle for accurate delineation of ligaments and tendons. In addition, US can provide a depiction of normal retinacula and a detailed assessment of their pathologic changes. An accurate US assessment of ankle retinacula is helpful in choosing the proper treatment. In this pictorial essay, we briefly review the normal anatomy of ankle retinacula, describe their normal US appearance, and present a wide range of US pathologic abnormalities.
