Abstract

Fractures of os peroneum are rare and can be missed. A presence of os peroneum and its fracture should be considered in the differential diagnosis of un-explained lateral foot pain. We report a 45-year-old diabetic patient who developed a lateral side foot pain after trauma, gradually worsening over a period of 6 months, and made a delayed presentation to the clinic. The physical examination, radiography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a displaced fracture of an os peroneum and peroneus longus tenosynovitis. She was managed conservatively with a satisfactory outcome. We report this case to increase the awareness among clinicians about this relatively rare condition and also review the role of conservative treatment for this.
