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.
 
Plantar Fasciosis
A 49-year-old female with known history of right foot plantar fasciitis presented with sharp, left heel pain after walking for an hour in boots one year prior. The pain was localized to the posterior ankle and proximal plantar aspect and is worsened with ambulation. Two previous corticosteroid injections at the plantar aspect provided no relief.
 
Right Shoulder Paralabral Cyst
A 27-year-old swimmer presented with right anterolateral shoulder pain, weakness, numbness, burning, and paresthesias radiating down the anterior upper arm and medial forearm into the fourth and fifth digits. Pain was exacerbated by shoulder extension and abduction with difficulty engaging periscapular muscles while swimming. On exam, atrophy of the infraspinatus was noted. ​
 
Bicipitoradial Bursitis
A 21-year-old competitive weightlifter presented with insidious onset of left anterolateral elbow pain for 3-weeks duration. The pain severity was rated as 2/10 at rest and increased to a 7/10 with back and biceps exercises. The pain was described as sharp and radiated to the proximal lateral forearm. On exam, elbow pain was provoked with resisted supination and flexion.
