| Popis: | Plantar fat pad syndrome has received little attention in the literature. A variety of structural changes of the plantar fat pad have been described in the literature, including atrophy, contusion, and fractured fat pad. This case series presents 4 patients (5 heels) with subluxation of a fractured plantar fat pad on dynamic ultrasound. Patients with subluxing fractured fat pad typically present with heel pain and a "snapping" or "popping" sensation when weight-bearing. Other causes of heel pain were excluded, and all patients in this series had an MRI that initially did not report any findings in the fat pad. Retrospective review of the MRI showed evidence of diffuse low T1 and T2 infiltration. To the authors' knowledge, subluxation of the plantar fat pad and the respective correlation to MRI findings have not been described in the literature. Here we describe the sonographic findings of this novel condition. |
