Foot pain There is metallic susceptibility artifact adjacent to the navicular tuberosity representing a partially dislodged suture anchor as seen on prior radiographs. The adjacent spring ligament appears slightly distorted which may be the result of artifact or mild mass effect but there is no evidence of frank disruption. Although evaluation of the distal posterior tibialis tendon is limited due to the metal artifact, there is no abnormal signal or disruption of the tendon itself and there is also no evidence of navicular edema. The marrow signal of the remaining bones of the foot is also normal. The anterior talofibular ligament appears thinned which may be the result of prior injury but the calcaneofibular and posterior talofibular ligaments appear normal. The distal tibiofibular syndesmotic complex is intact. The visualized components of the deltoid ligament are unremarkable. The anterior tendons, flexor digitorum and flexor hallucis longus tendons, the Achilles tendon, and the peroneal tendons all appear normal. A small amount of fluid is noted within the tibiotalar and subtalar joints which is within normal limits.
Metallic susceptibility artifact adjacent to the navicular tuberosity representing a partially dislodged suture anchor which perhaps causes mild mass effect upon the spring ligament. There is no evidence of additional tendinous or bony abnormality or other specific findings to account for the patient's pain.
