8.3.2 Posterior Tibio-Talar Recess

The posterior tibio-talar recess can be assessed
using coronal oblique scans on the medial side
of the Achilles tendon (Figs. 8.22a-b).

ment: 1, tibialis anterior tendon; 2, extensor hallucis

torumlongus tendon

8.4 Anterior Compartment

The foot must placed in the same position used
to assess the lateral compartment. Anatomical
scheme of the anterior compartment of the
ankle is shown in Fig. 8.23.
8.4.1 Anterior Tendons and Deep
Peroneal Nerve
Ankle position for anterior compartment evalu-
ation is shown in Fig. 8.24. The probe must be
placed on an axial plane on the anterior side of
the ankle. There, the tibialis anterior tendon,
the extensor hallucis longus tendon,andthe
extensor digitorum longus tendon can be
seen. The tendons must be followed distally up
to their insertion on the first cuneiform and on
the fingers, respectively (Figs. 8.25a, b).
In 5% of cases, an accessory tendon (per-
oneus tertius) can be seen laterally to the
extensor digitorum longus tendon.
The deep peroneal neurovascular bundle
can be seen deeply between the extensor hallu-
cis longus and the extensor digitorum longus
tendons (Fig. 8.25c).
The peroneus tertius muscle lies laterally to
the extensor digitorum longus. It arises from
the medial aspect of the fibula and from the
interosseous membrane. Its tendon enters the
extensor retinaculum of the ankle and inserts
on the fifth metatarsal bone.
The deep peroneal nerve is one of the termi-
nal branches of the common peroneal nerve.
At the level of the fibular neck, it pierces the
anterior intermuscular septum reaching the
anterior compartment of the leg. Here, it runs
parallel to the anterior tibial artery, between
the extensor hallucis longus and the tibialis
anterior tendons. Distally, it crosses posterior-
ly the extensor hallucis longus tendon and
enters the anterior retinaculum between the
extensor hallucis longus and the extensor dig-
itorum longus, ending in the subcutaneous tis-
sues, innervating the skin of the first and the
second fingers.

8.4.2 Anterior Tibio-Talar Recess

The anterior tibio-talar recess can be assessed
performing a longitudinal scan on the anterior
aspect of the ankle, between the extensor ten-
dons.
The anterior tibio-talar recess appears like a
triangular hyperechoic area, when not distended
by fluid. A thin layer of cartilage of the talus can
be also seen (Figs. 8.26a-b).
8 Ankle
132
The exam can be started either from the dorsal or
from the plantar side of the foot.
9.1 Hindfoot
The patient lies supine or prone with the foot
hanging out of the bed.

9.1.1 Plantar Aponeurosis

The foot must be dorsally flexed with the first toe
extended (Fig. 9.1a).
The probe must be placed longitudinally over
the heel to evaluate the insertional region of
plantar aponeurosis on a longitudinal scan (Fig.
9.1b).

9.2 Forefoot

9.2.1 Plantar Side

The probe must be oriented on an axial plane
over the metatarsal heads (Figs. 9.2, 9.3a-c). At
this level, the intermetatarsal spaces and flexor
digitorum tendons can be seen.
Soft tissues within the intermetatarsal spaces
must be evaluated displacing them from their
natural position. This can be done either by
pressing the skin on the dorsal side of the foot or
by lateral compression of the whole forefoot
(Mulder’s maneuver). These maneuvers allow
for an improved detection of intermetatarsal bur-
sitis or Morton’s neuroma.
Flexor tendons and metatarsophalangeal
joints can be assessed using longitudinal scans
and passive mobilization of toes (Figs. 9.4a-c).
Dynamic scans allow also for detecting the
integrity of plantar plates.

9.2.2 Dorsal Side

The patient lies supine on the bed with the knee
flexed and the plantar side flat on the bed. The
probe must be oriented on an axial plane over the
metatarsal heads (Figs. 9.5a, b). The presence of
intermetatarsal bursitis and Morton’s neuroma
can also be detected from this position, perform-
ing the same maneuvers described for plantar
scans.
Short and long axis scans must be performed
to evaluate extensor tendons and laminae.
