Tendinous intersection of flexor hallucis longus and flexor digitorum longus tendons
Intersection tendinosus flexori longi digitorum et flexoris longi halluci
Definition
The knot of Henry (Tendinous intersection of flexor hallucis longus and flexor digitorum longus tendons) is the narrow space located between the tendinous intersection of the flexor hallucis longus and flexor digitorum longus tendons. This small space is responsible to “intersection syndrome,” as a result of tendinosis, tenosynovitis, and tears.
