Fibular stress fracture associated with distal tibiofibular synostosis in an athlete. A case report and literature review
Clin Orthop Relat Res.
1992 Aug.
Abstract
A 19-year-old collegiate football player with progressive ankle syndesmosis ossification developed acute localized fibular tenderness. Roentgenograms demonstrated a fibular stress fracture proximal to the superior extent of the ossific mass. Surgical resection of the mass resulted in uneventful fibular healing, with resolution of acute and chronic symptoms.
