A Rare Case Report of Exertional Leg Pain. Clinical journal of sport medicine : official journal of the Canadian Academy of Sport Medicine Dyrek, P., Kuwabara, A., Fredericson, M. 2023

Abstract

The accurate diagnosis of exertional leg pain in athletes is often delayed because of vague presenting symptoms and nonspecific physical examination findings. This case report outlines exertional leg pain in a runner caused by combined popliteal artery entrapment and soleal sling syndromes, 2 uncommon causes of exertional leg pain. This case report highlights the overlapping clinical presentation of these 2 diagnoses and the intricate differences in diagnostic workup and surgical approach to management.
