27-year-old female with lateral left ankle pain. Evaluate for peroneal tendinitis. TENDONS: There is focal signal abnormality within the subcutaneous fat superficial to the peroneus longus tendon as it courses along the body of the calcaneus. This finding is nonspecific but suggestive of mild inflammation. The peroneal tendons themselves appear normal and we see no tenosynovitis. The Achilles tendon, extensor tendons, and remaining flexor tendons are unremarkable.LIGAMENTS: The lateral collateral ligament complex and distal tibiofibular syndesmotic complex are within normal limits. The visualized components of the deltoid ligament appear intact.ARTICULAR SURFACES AND BONE: The bone marrow signal and articular cartilage are within normal limits. No osteochondral defect is identified.ADDITIONAL
