Sonographically Guided Flexor Hallucis Longus Tendon Sheath Injection
Amir Mehdizade, MD and Ronald S. Adler, PhD, MD

Objective. The purpose of this study was to describe a sonographically guided technique to perform flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon sheath injections. Methods. Scans were performed with an intermediate-frequency (7.5- to 12-MHz) linear transducer with the scan plane corresponding to the anatomic axial plane and the patients positioned prone. The transducer was placed along the posteromedial ankle with the needle entry point being lateral to the Achilles tendon. A 25-gauge, 1.5-in needle or a 22-gauge spinal needle was positioned directly into the tendon sheath during real-time visualization with injection of a standardized therapeutic mixture (anesthetic and long-acting corticosteroid) at the level of the posterior sulcus for the FHL. Distention of the tendon sheath during real-time visualization was considered a successful injection. Results. Twenty-four injections in 20 patients (12 female and 8 male; age range, 22"64 years) were performed with this technique. In each case, distention of the FHL tendon sheath was obtained as the desired end point. Apart from minor paresthesias from local anesthesia, no long-term complications from these injections have occurred to date. Conclusions. We describe a method to perform sonographically guided injections of the FHL tendon sheath. Sonography provides several distinct advantages as a method to provide guidance for delivery of therapeutic injections. The most important of these is the ability to visualize the needle and make adjustments in real time to ensure that medication is delivered to the appropriate location. Given these advantages, we propose that sonographic guidance provides an excellent alternative in the administration of corticosteroids to the FHL tendon sheath.


Key Words: ankle sonography • flexor hallucis longus • sonographically guided injection • tendon sheath injection

so laughing.... I am really cr*pping it! Whus!

Hi crew, Tuesday downunder already, big day. Flavour Queen I envy you, sauerkraut and German sausages, I'm drooling at the gills just thinking about it.

Izzie will be thinking of you today, one needle is ok, Beagle underwent a course of penicillin a long time ago, one needle every hour (24 hours a day) for a whole week! You will be right my dear friend.

Folks you won't believe this, we haven't had rain for ages, comes tonight big open air concert and guess what? Raining at the moment, hope it stops before the performance as it would put a big damper on the whole show.

Keep well, back later.

Morning guys and gals. Izzieliz hope the needle is not too bad. Beagle hope you and Mrs Beagle enjoy your concert tonight and you don't get rained out. Greetings to Missy, Verby, Bethy, FQ, Try, Alex, Brooke and any one I have missed.

Morning Tuesday morning Down Underers...

happy to see you both!

Oooooh BEAgle.... you mean the rain dance I've been doing worked and now ya don't want it.... (hope it stops just for the concert and then chucks buckets)!!! x <one won't ask about the penicillen shots >

The needle I can cope with, have my bloods done once a month.... but going into my tendon....ack ack ack.... mind you, I am totally pathetic like that! This time tomorrow it will be done and I will have a numbed foot so... no worries.

Indeedee - have you recovered from your birthday hun? How is baby Brother - is he still with you? And daughter - is she bumping out now? Been thinking of you lots. Hope hubby is k. Lots of love to all you and yours gal. x

Morning Izzieliz. Yes birthday hangover gone now. Brother returned to Western Australia this morning and daughter is definitely bumping out now. Her first baby was a huge bub at nearly 10 lb so they are closely monitoring this one for size. Due end March. Hubby is fine thanks. Can't believe how close Xmas is.

You're no whus Iz...trust me on that girl. Strong woman - no doubt...praying it is not bad at all.

Hi guys...the babies were precious today. Very happy - very little crying - my kind of day.

I have to go stand over the twinkies - they are having a hard time focusing on their homework...I might be back. We shall just have to see.

HUGS!

Hello Izzie. Listen to mismi, praying is the way to go. Up is too..
Praying with a light sage nail color. One more room to go. The room. There might be a mix up, not literally, at the paint store. Shh. I like this able2know immunity.

Goodbye for now.
