This case report describes a 50-year-old male who presented with right
anterolateral ankle pain managed unsuccessfully with rest, medications, bracing,
injection, physical therapy, and massage therapy.
Clinical diagnosis of
anterolateral ankle impingement was based on concordant symptom reproduction with
palpatory tenderness and a positive lateral synovial impingement test. This case
report is a potential first time description of the successful management of
anterolateral ankle impingement utilizing a novel Mulligan's mobilization with
movement procedure (consisting of internal rotation of the distal tibia) and
taping with immediate improvements noted in pain, range of motion, and function.
The patient was seen twice a week and was discharged after four treatment
sessions. A follow-up after 4 months revealed that the patient was pain free and
fully functional.
