Info
Extensive inflammation centered on the peroneus longus and brevis tendons is associated with synovial hypertrophy and enhancement with medial extension to involve the distal fibula and lateral aspect of the calcaneus, resulting in osteomyelitis. The inflammation extends posteriorly to the Achilles tendon and involves the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the lateral aspect of the ankle, showing a sinus tract.
Case Discussion
