Distal intersection syndrome indicates simultaneous tenosynovitis or tendinosis of the second and third extensor compartment where extensor pollicis longus cross with the tendons of the second extensor compartment. We report three cases of distal intersection syndrome which differ from usual intersection syndrome.

Calcific tendinitis of the longus colli is an inflammatory disease caused by calcium hydroxyapatite crystal deposition in the longus colli tendon of the prevertebral space. It is also known as retropharyngeal calcific tendinitis or prevertebral tendinitis. The typical imaging characteristics of this entity are calcifications on the superior insertion of the longus colli tendons at the C1-2 level and fluid collection in the retropharyngeal space. However, we introduce 2 case of acute longus colli tendinitis without definite calcification deposition on simple X-ray.

PURPOSE: This study evaluated the clinical symptoms, diagnosis and management of calcific tendinitis around the insertion of the gluteus medius tendon. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between February 2004 and December 2008, 9 patients (8 women and 1 man; mean age, 57 years; age range, 41~80) with a diagnosis of calcific tendinitis were enrolled in this study. All patients underwent radiography and sonography. The relationships between the clinical aspects, medication, the shape of calcification under radiography, thickening of the tendon, and the shape of calcification under sonography were analyzed. RESULTS: Type 1 (fluffy margin) under radiography had a shorter symptom duration and faster recovery than type 2 (well-defined and homogenous margin) (p=0.03). Tendon thickening and the shape of calcification (ovoid or amorphous) from the sonographic findings was not significantly related to the symptom duration and recovery time. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication had no effect on the symptom duration or recovery time. CONCLUSION: Patients with calcific tendinitis around the gluteus medius tendon with a type 1 margin (fluffy margin) showed a shorter symptom duration and faster recovery than those with a type 2 margin. Non-steroidal antiinflammatory medication had no effect on the symptom duration or recovery time.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the advantages of the antiglide plate fixation procedure for Danis-Weber type B lateral malleolar fractures of ankle compared to other methods of lateral plate fixation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed 70 cases that antiglide plate fixation and lateral plate fixation procedures were performed from Mar. 2001 through Mar. 2006. Of the total 70 cases, they were divided into two groups ; 22 cases were treated with the antiglide plate procedure (Group I) and 48 cases were treated with the lateral plate procedure (Group II). The results of the two groups were analyzed both radiographically and clinically using Ankle-Hindfoot scale of the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS). RESULTS: All fractures were healed at average of 8 weeks both radiographically and clinically. According to the Ankle-Hindfoot scale, all cases of Group I and 48 cases of Group II were above 80 points. 2 cases (9%) in Group I complained of peroneal tendinitis, while 19 cases (39%) in Group II showed skin irritation resulting from the screw or the plate. A total of 6 cases (27%) in Group I and 27 cases (55%) in Group II complained cosmetic problems. CONCLUSION: we concluded that the antiglide plate fixation for Danis-Weber type B lateral malleolar fractures is one of the good methods. But, further analysis will be need to find a solution for the peroneal tendinitis.

Calcific tendinitis usually occurs in the supraspinatus tendon of the shoulder. Calcific tendinitis of the peroneus longus tendon has not been reported on the Korean journals. Differential diagnosis includes bipartitis os peroneum, os peroneum fracture and peroneal tendinitis. We report a rare case of calcific tendinitis of the peroneus longus tendon which responded well with the conservative treatment.

Although the management of fractures of the calcaneus still remains controversial, open reduction and internal fixation is gaining in popularity as the method of choice for the treatment of displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures. However, open methods can make several complications such as neurovascular injury and infection. Thus we have performed the new technique of arthroscopic reduction and minimal internal fixation for displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures in 5 cases. The results were evaluated between 12 and 16 months after surgery. A Bohler angle was restored to 25degrees-40degrees in all cases. Anatomical reduction of articular surface were obtained from 4 cases out of 5. No complications were found except 1 peroneal tendinitis. The clinical results by Creighton-Nebraska health foundation assessment for fractures of the calcaneus were 3 excellent, 1 good and 1 fair. Even though this was a few case and a short term follow-up study, the arthroscopic assisted management of displaced intraarticular calcaneal fracture induced a little complications and satisfactory results.

Calcific tendinitis of hand and foot is rare and frequently misdiagnosed because of its rare incidence and its similar clinical presentation to other conditions such as infection. Awareness of the typical location as well as familiarity with the imaging findings is essential for making a correct diagnosis of this rare condition. We report four cases of calcific tendinitis of hand and foot, occurring in the flexor hallucis brevis, abductor digiti minimi, and abductor pollicis brevis.
