FR>EN Syndrome d ’attelage des fléchisseurs plantaires

[Guest guest]

I would be grateful if anyone could help me with an English translation

for the following:

" Syndrome d'attelage des fléchisseurs plantaires "

It is a contraindication for the use of an implant to correct hammer toe.

It would seem to be the equivalent in the foot of Verdan's syndrome in

the hand. Indeed one paper by Gauthier and Deconinck in Rheumatologie

was entitled " Le syndrome d'attelage des fléchisseurs plantaires =

Verdan's syndrome " but I can only find references to Verdan's syndrome

in English referring to the arm/hand and I suspect that the Gauthier

paper is simply making an analogy but I cannot access the paper.

My present first draft is " planter flexor tethering " but I am not happy

with it and other better suggestions would be most welcome.

Many thanks

I suspect, without searching the related phrases you cite in French, that it

refers to " plantar fasciitis " - inflammation, or adhesion of the plantar

fasciae. Non idomatically, and with no pretension to correctness, I would add in

the vernacular 'sticky flexor tendons'.
