Abstract

Os subfibulare is an accessory ossicle located at the distal tip of lateral malleolus. It is usually detected incidently, however, it may be misdiagnosed as lateral malleolar avulsion fracture in the clinical setting of ankle trauma. Herein, we report a case of os subfibulare which is misdiagnosed as lateral malleolar avulsion fracture and discussed its clinical and radiologic features that will help us in differential diagnosis.

Özet

Os subfibulare, lateral malleol distal ucunda yer alan aksesuar bir kemiktir. Genellikle rastlantısal olarak tespit edilir ancak, ayak bileği travması varlığında, klinik ve radyolojik olarak ayak bileği lateral malleol avülzyon kırığı ile karışabilir. Bu yazıda, yanlışlıkla lateral malleol avülzyon kırığı tanısı alan bir os subfibulare olgusunu sunarak, bu iki tanının ayrılmasında dikkat edilecek noktaların tartıştık.
