Chronic Fracture of the Posteromedial Tubercle of the Talus Masquerading as Os Trigonum Syndrome

Arthroscopic Treatment of a Malunion of a Posteromedial Tubercle Fracture of the Talus

Posteromedial ankle impingement is rare and uncommonly associated with a fracture. Bone resection of the fragment is the recommended treatment. In this report, we describe the step-by-step surgical technique of arthroscopic resection of a malunion of a posteromedial talus fracture to correct the impingement.

Fracture of the os trigonum: a case report.

The os trigonum is an inconsistently present accessory bone of the foot situated at the posterolateral aspect of the talus. It may be radiographically confused with fractures of the posterior process of the talus. Fracture of the os trigonum per se is extremely rare. Hyperplantarflexion of the ankle is the mechanism of injury in which the os trigonum is compressed between the posterior malleolu...
