Overview

Retrospective review assesses pain relief from lidocaine in performance athletes with os trigonum syndrome, suggesting surgical links.

Key Points

  • Advancement to surgery is influenced by the FHL musculotendinous junction distance and relative OT position.
  • Over 80% of pediatric patients achieve immediate symptom relief from lidocaine injections for os trigonum syndrome.
  • No patient factors showed significant correlation to initial relief following lidocaine injection, emphasizing its overall effectiveness.
  • Gender and performance athlete status were significant indicators for the likelihood of progressing to surgery.
