A recent report from Loma Linda University discusses extensor retinaculum syndrome (ERS), a condition characterized by elevated pressures in the tissues deep to the superior extensor retinaculum (SER) in the ankle. This case series focuses on seven adult patients who underwent complete SER release for ERS. The patients experienced anterior ankle pain, pain with passive toe plantarflexion, elevated SER pressures, toe extension weakness, and first web space numbness. Traumatic injuries, such as ankle fractures, were associated with all cases. The study recommends complete release of the SER as the treatment for ERS. [Extracted from the article] |
