If pain disappears and shoulder function remains good, no further testing is pursued. The test
Mucous sheaths of the tendons around the ankle the level of the tip of the malleolus, while that for the Flexor digitorum longus is slightly higher; the former is continued to the base of the first metatarsal, but the latter stops opposite the first cuneiform bone. On the lateral (outer) side of the ankle a sheath which is single for the greater part of its extent encloses the Peronæi longus and brevis. It extends upward for about 4 cm. above the tip of the malleolus and downward and forward for about the same distance. Mucous sheaths of the tendons around the ankle The mucous sheaths of the tendons
