The axial fast spin-echo T2-weighted image was obtained just below the tibial plafond. At this level, the anterior tibial tendon (ATT) is normally seen in cross section as a black oval structure anterior to the joint. On this image, the tendon sheath of the ATT is distended with T2-hyperintense material (arrow), but the tendon is not visible. The extensor hallucis longus (EHL), extensor digitorum longus (EDL), and peroneus tertius tendons (PT) are visible anteriorly. A portion of the oblique superomedial limb of the inferior extensor retinaculum (IER) is visible on either side of the empty ATT sheath. |
