“…However it may also occur due to osteochondromas, fluorosis, fibro dysplasia ossificans progressiva, subperiosteal hemorrhages as in hemophilia or may be iatrogenic. Reports of isolated congenital distal tibiofibular synostosis are very few [2,3,4]. Hypothesis described in favour of congenital origin are intra-uterine trauma, infection, developmental arrest [1].…”

Congenital tibiofibular synostosis is the fusion of tibia and fibula since birth. So far there are many reports of congenital proximal tibio fibular synostosis in English literature, but congenital distal tibio fibular synostosis is very rarely described. Imaging studies by means of X rays, CT and MRI are required to rule out osteochondromas arising from distal tibia, fibula and other conditions. If the patient is symptomatic by means of deformity surgical intervention in the form of corrective osteotomy may be considered to prevent alternation of joint biomechanics. We report a rare case of congenital distal tibiofibular synostosis in a 21 year old female presented with complaints of deformity and pain on and off in left lower leg since childhood. Key words: Congenital; Synostosis; Deformity; Osteochondroma.

This scheme of classification is depicted in figure.1.Synostosis at the level of syndesmosis, in growing skeleton, is associated with deformity.…”

Congenital distal tibio-fibular synostosis is a very rare anomaly. The cases of congenital tibiofibular synostosis reported in the literature so far have been confined to the proximal tibio-fibular joint. We present a case of tibio-fibular synostosis that involves the distal part of the tibia and fibula based on characteristic X-ray and CT findings. We have also attempted to classify the distal tibio-fibular synostosis. At the end we have discussed different modes of presentation of the condition and various management strategies.
