2226 VII Imaging <strong>of</strong> the Musculoskeletal System<br />

A B C<br />

Figure <strong>47</strong>-28. Longitudinal split<br />

<strong>of</strong> the peroneus brevis tendon (PB)<br />

in a 62-year-old. Straight axial T1-<br />

weighted (A), proton-density (PD)–<br />

weighted (B), <strong>and</strong> T2-weighted<br />

images through the syndesmosis.<br />

The PB (black arrow) is well seen<br />

on T1 <strong>and</strong> PD weighting, located<br />

between the lateral malleolus (LM)<br />

<strong>and</strong> the peroneus longus tendon<br />

(PL). At this level, the PB has a<br />

normal flattened appearance.<br />

However, the T2-weighted image<br />

shows an abnormal amount <strong>of</strong><br />

fluid in the common peroneal<br />

tendon sheath (white arrowhead).<br />

Straight axial T1-weighted (D), PDweighted<br />

(E), <strong>and</strong> T2-weighted (F)<br />

images through the LM. At this<br />

level, the PB is abnormally<br />

flattened to such an extent that it is<br />

draped over the PL, best seen on<br />

the PD image (E). Straight axial T1-<br />

weighted (G), PD-weighted (H), <strong>and</strong><br />

T2-weighted (I) images distal to<br />

the LM.<br />
