Surgical Outcomes of Os Trigonum Syndrome in Dancers: A Case Series

Abstract: Background: Management of ankle pain in dancers can be challenging because of the repetitive stress and complex demands placed on this region. Despite the prevalence of ankle injuries in this population, literature on surgical outcomes and return to dance is limited. Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate the efficacy and functional outcomes after surgical excision of a symptomatic os trigonum in dancers. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: Between June 2006 and June 2016, a total of 44 dan… Show more

“…This population of patients covered a broader spectrum of sport and occupational activities than those who previously have been presented in the literature, which included only dancers and athletes such as swimmers, tennis, or soccer players. [1][2][3]7,11,14,23 Treatment of symptomatic os trigonum syndrome usually starts conservatively with NSAIDs, physical therapy, and activity modification. 4,24 Therefore, all patients continued conservative therapy for 6 mo.…”

“…Additional X-ray views are carried out in ankle plantar-flexion. [40] MRI helps confirm diagnosis and excludes any other pathology in posterior ankle like a cyst or a low lying FHL muscle belly. T2-weighted image shows bone edema, synchondrosis, and soft-tissue signal changes [Figure 3].…”

“…Major cause of impingement posteriorly is bony and arises due to two very related pathologies which are the "Os trigonum" and stieda process. [40] A secondary ossification center forms at the posterolateral aspect of talus and usually fuses with the posterior talus in adolescence, if this fusion creates a large posterolateral talar process, it is called the stieda process. [41] However, if the same fails to fuse, an os trigonum is formed, which articulates with the talus through a synchondrosis (7-14% cases).…”
