Heel pain is a common clinical symptom.
Heel pain is a common clinical symptom.
Anatomy: Anatomy:
The two terminal branches of the tibial nerve are the medial plantar nerve and the lateral plantar nerve.
The two terminal branches of the tibial nerve are the medial plantar nerve and the lateral plantar nerve.
Baxter's nerve (Baxter nerve) is the first branch of the lateral plantar nerve, also known as the inferior calcaneus nerve, which innervates the abductor digitorum muscle (AbDM)
Lateral plantar nerve: Lateral plantar nerve (LPN)
Lateral plantar nerve: Lateral plantar nerve (LPN)
Medial plantar nerve: Medial plantar nerve (MPN) Medial plantar nerve (MPN)
Abductor digiti minimi: Abductor digiti minimi (AbDM)
Abductor minor digiti: Abductor digiti minimi (AbDM) Abductor minor digiti: Abductor digiti minimi (AbDM)

Acute and subacute muscle denervation are best assessed by fluid-sensitive sequences, such as T2WI images with fat suppression (T2 FS) or short tau reversal recovery (STIR) images.
Compared with normal muscles, the muscle abdominal The increased signal is related to neurogenic muscle edema.
The enhanced scan occurs in the acute to subacute stage of denervation; in the case of Baxter nerve compression, according to the patient’s innervation anatomy, muscle edema will be selectively in the abductor digitorum (AbDM) occurs internally, and may also occur in the flexor digitorum brevis and quadratus plantar muscle; obvious muscle atrophy and fatification can be seen in the chronic phase

The initial treatment of Baxter nerve compression is usually conservative treatment, including a combination of rest, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroid injections, and orthotics
.
If persistent pain persists after conservative treatment, surgery can be performed

in conclusion:
Conclusion: Conclusion:
Baxter nerve compression is a clinically difficult diagnosis and is often overlooked in the manifestations of heel pain
.
MRI can evaluate the denervation effect of nerve compression by identifying abnormalities in the abdomen of the abductor digitorum (AbDM) muscle
.
In addition, potential causes of impact (eg calcaneal spurs, soft tissue masses, vasodilatation) and related pathologies (eg plantar fasciitis, tendinopathy) can be found, and other differential diagnoses (eg stress fractures) can be ruled out
