• CASE
    • This article presents a case of entrapment of the flexor hallucis longus tendon in the osseofibrous tunnel under the sustentaculum tali due to a bone fragment from a calcaneal fracture. Despite good visualization with computed tomography, we did not recognize this complication preoperatively. Limited motion of the hallux was the key to recognition of this rare pathogenic situation.
  • CONCLUSION
    • We emphasize the importance of careful physical examination of the forefoot when there is a hindfoot injury.
