| Popis: |
A 27-year-old female presented with persistent right medial plantar pain that developed over six months following an ankle sprain. The pain, described as sharp and radiating to the toes, progressively worsened, affecting her ability to walk. An initial ultrasound examination suggested medial plantar nerve compression by a lipoma, prompting her referral for ultrasound-guided hydrodissection. During the pre-procedure assessment, sono-palpation (palpation using the ultrasound transducer) localized the pain to the Master Knot of Henry—where the medial plantar nerve, artery, and flexor tendons intersect. No lipoma but a normal fat pad was observed. Ultrasound-guided hydrodissection with 5% dextrose mixed with lidocaine and saline was performed. After two sessions, her pain significantly decreased, with her visual analogue scale score dropping from 8 to 5 after the first session and to 2 after the second, allowing her to resume normal activities. This case highlights the value of ultrasound in accurately diagnosing and treating conditions involving the Master Knot of Henry. |
