Acquired talo-calcaneal coalition due to injury to the os trigonum
Abstract
The os trigonum has been associated with a variety of conditions, most of which result in painful syndromes at the posterior aspect of the ankle joint. An uncommon complication is formation of a talocalcaneal coalition. We present a previously undescribed case of posterior talocalcaneal coalition that resulted after a plantarflexion injury of the os trigonum.
