A Rare Pattern of Ligamentous Injury of the Ankle: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Ankle sprains are the most frequent sport related injuries with involvement of the lateral collateral ligament complex occurring in 85% of cases. Isolated anterior talofibular ligament injury is by far the commonest followed by combined anterior talofibular and calcaneofibular ligament strain. The posterior talofibular ligament is the strongest component of the lateral collateral ligament complex and is injured in severe ankle injury along with the other lateral collateral ligaments. While isolated calcaneofibular ligament strain has been reported, calcaneofibular ligament and posterior talofibular ligament strains with an intact anterior talofibular ligament are rare and reported in cadaveric studies. We present a case of radiologically diagnosed calcaneofibular ligament and posterior talofibular ligament injury and will discuss the anatomy, stress radiography, and magnetic resonance image findings and the mechanism of this particular injury.

Gluteus medius muscle pathologies - A case series & pictorial review.

INTRODUCTION: Gluteus medius lesions are rare and can present with lateral hip pain. We present a spectrum of pathologies involving the gluteus medius and discuss the imaging features. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A search of our oncology database at tertiary orthopaedic oncology service was performed. The imaging features of these were analysed. RESULTS: There were nine cases involving the gluteus medius, which included soft tissue sarcomas, lipomas, infection and trauma with an average age of 62 years. CONCLUSION: Gluteus medius lesions are rare and one should be aware of these as these can present as lateral hip pain.
