Video Summary

In this video, Brandon Moritz, a fourth-year medical student at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine, presents an audio paper at the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Annual Meeting. The paper titled "Halim's Hint" introduces a mnemonic for the anatomy of hindfoot structures at the level of the sussentaculum tali on coronal T1-weighted magnetic resonance images. The study reviewed 124 MRIs and developed a mnemonic called "Halim's Hen in the nest with four eggs" to represent nine major elements of the hindfoot anatomy. The mnemonic aids in understanding both normal and pathologic anatomy. Examples of pathologies discussed include tibialis posterior tendinopathy, flexor digitorum brevis hemangioma, Baxter's neuropathy, and peroneal tendinitis. The mnemonic is a useful tool for teaching and recall throughout a medical career.
