24-year-old female with a history of inflammatory arthritis complains of persistent right foot pain with activity. No swelling/stiffness. The flexor tendons appear intact. The extensor tendons appear intact. The peroneal tendons appear intact. The achilles tendon is within normal limits. The distal tibiofibular syndesmotic complex appears intact. The lateral collateral ligament complex appears intact. The visualized components of the deltoid ligament appear intact. There is mild nonspecific increased signal abnormality within the posterior talus. The remainder of the bone marrow signal is within normal limits. The imaged musculature is within normal limits. There is no pathologic enhancement on post contrast sequences. There are no focal fluid collections to suggest abscess formation. There is a small amount of fluid within the tibiotalar joint without evidence of a large effusion.
No erosions or other findings of inflammatory arthritis are evident. Mild increased bone marrow signal abnormality within the posterior talus is nonspecific but can be seen in flexor hallucis longus tendinosis.
