Summary

A case series aimed to describe a new clinical condition for the first time in the medical literature called Ankle Spine Syndrome or "RAFFET Syndrome II". This syndrome was reported in 6 patients (2 males and 4 females) out of 1000 patients with a history of chronic ankle injuries affecting their calf muscles' strength throughout the last 3 years. The patients suffered from unresolved CLBP with radiculopathy contralateral to their calf muscle atrophy (i.e., an ipsilateral calf muscle weakness induces contralateral lumbar radiculopathy) that did not respond to physical therapy or any medication for long.
