A member asked:
Intense pain w/ high freq us at pt. w/in hour had pain large swelling front of ankle. diagnosed as tenosynovitis of ant tib. tendon damage or rupture?

Inflammation: Anterior tendon tenosynovitis means you have an inflamed sheath or covering of a tendon that crosses the front of your ankle. A good quality MRI would confirm the dx. If the inflammation continues or you sustain an injury which stresses this tendon it could then rupture.Uncommon though; posterior tibial tendon rupture much more common.
