Superficial Fibular Nerve Sheath Tumor
77-year-old cyclist presented with acute right lower leg and ankle pain with an associated soft tissue mass just proximal to the lateral malleolus. The symptoms began gradually, without trauma, a few weeks prior to presentation. Exam of the right ankle was notable for pain with direct palpation over the area with radiating pain and numbness into the lateral ankle and foot. There was no weakness or skin changes. A right ankle x-ray demonstrated no osseous abnormalities.
 
Common Extensor Tendinopathy of the Elbow
A 48-year-old right-hand-dominant male presented with a 1-year history of persistent right lateral elbow pain despite completing 6 months of physical therapy, modified activity, and relative rest. His exam was notable for tenderness to palpation over the lateral common extensor tendon and pain with resisted wrist extension and middle finger extension.
 
Osteoarthritis of the Second Metatarsophalangeal Joint
A 68-year-old male presented with pain in the right second toe. He had a remote history of a second toe fracture, and an x-ray revealed a questionable right second phalangeal loose body.
 
Extradigital Glomus Tumor of the Foot
A 54-year-old male presented with chronic left anterior ankle pain that started 15 years ago without injury. His exam revealed tenderness to palpation over the extensor hallucis longus and tibialis anterior tendons just proximal to the ankle joint (most tender ~2cm proximal to the anterior distal tibiofibular joint). Strength was intact with normal sensation and range of motion.
 
Compressive Superficial Peroneal Neuropathy
A young adult man with known history of bilateral anterior and lateral compartment fasciotomies 12 years prior presented with insidious onset of right greater than left exertional loss of sensation on the dorsolateral/lateral aspect of the ankle and foot.
 
Insertional Achilles Tendinosis with Associated Retrocalcaneal Bursitis and Evidence of a Haglund Deformity
A 69-year-old active male presented with left ankle pain that had persisted for the prior month due to excessive walking in dress shoes. Physical examination revealed tenderness at posterior heel/calcaneus.
 
Deep Infrapatellar Bursopathy
A 77-year-old male presented to clinic with three months of insidious onset left infrapatellar knee pain without an obvious inciting event including any report of trauma. His pain was most notably provoked when descending stairs and located primarily at the distal patellar tendon region. He otherwise denied any swelling or instability of the knee. On examination, range of motion was full without audible crepitus. Tenderness to palpation was identified at the inferior patellar pole and distal patellar tendon region.
 
Radial Collateral Ligament Tear of the Elbow
A 43-year-old right-hand-dominant female who is an avid weightlifter presented with subacute right lateral elbow pain which worsened after pulling a heavy object (suitcase) from the floor 1-2 months prior. There was tenderness to palpation along the lateral epicondyle and mild laxity with varus stress testing.
 
ASIS Avulsion Fracture
A 14-year-old female high school soccer player presented with 5 months of right anterior hip pain without any clear mechanism of injury. Pain was located over the anterior superior iliac spine and worsened with running, kicking, and jumping.
 
Ischiofemoral Impingement
A 26-year-old female presented with right posterior hip pain for over a decade. Pain was exacerbated by exercise and sitting. Physical examination was positive for tenderness along the right posterior hip and ischial tuberosity. Ischiofemoral impingement test was positive.
