Variant of popliteal entrapment syndrome involving the lateral head of the gastrocnemius muscle: a case report.

19 May 2009 Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome is a congenital anomaly of the relationship of the popliteal artery with the surrounding musculotendinous structures that causes functional extrinsic compression of the artery, most commonly involving the medial ... Read more...

Functional popliteal artery entrapment syndrome: A poorly understood and often missed diagnosis that is frequently mistreated.

29 Apr 2009 OBJECTIVES: Functional popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (FPAES) is an uncommon overuse injury in young physically active adults manifest by neuromuscular symptoms (gastroc/soleus cramping, plantar paresthesias). It is commonly confused with ... Read more...

Two-year results of interspinous spacer (X-Stop) implantation in 175 patients with neurologic intermittent claudication due to lumbar spinal stenosis.

20 Apr 2009 The clinical outcome of patients with symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) was assessed during a follow-up period of 2 years after X-Stop implantation. The X-Stop is the most commonly used interspinous distraction device in patients with ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Intermittent Claudication'

Definition: A symptom complex characterized by pain and weakness in SKELETAL MUSCLE group associated with exercise, such as leg pain and weakness brought on by walking. Such muscle limpness disappears after a brief rest and is often relates to arterial STENOSIS; muscle ISCHEMIA; and accumulation of LACTATE.
