Evaluation of the relations between foot & ankle pathologies and anatomic variations with magnetic resonance imaging of 849 study population

The convex and irregular shapes of the RMFG, along with the anatomical variations of the os peroneum and low-lying PB muscle, constitute risk factors for peroneal tendon pathologies. The presence of the os trigonum and low-lying FHL muscle anatomical variations predispose individuals to FHL tendinopathies. The cut-off values that could lead to PB vertical tears and FHL tendinopathy were identified for the low-lying PB and FHL muscles, respectively.
