Tibiofibular synostosis: a cause of ankle disability
Clin Orthop Relat Res.
1975 Sep.
Abstract
A syndrome of ankle pain on weight-bearing while running due to post-traumatic ossification of the tibiofibular ligament is described. Pain is caused by failure of normal downward and lateral motion of the fibula. Treatment consists of complete excision of the synostosis, followed by cast immobilization for 3 weeks.
