“…This ossification center begins to ossify at ∼ 9 years of age in girls and at > 10 years in boys, with fusion typically occurring within a year after its appearance. 15 16 A fibrocartilaginous synchondrosis is typically present across the anterior margin of the os trigonum and posterior margin of the talus.…”

The pediatric ankle can present a broad range of normal variation and pathology unique to certain stages of development. Understanding the expected age ranges of ossification and fusion about the ankle is essential to provide accurate diagnoses regarding skeletal integrity. This conclusion has been well characterized radiographically and is supported by cadaveric research.The range of appearances on magnetic resonance imaging has also been well described. Knowledge about the structure of the periosteum and perichondrium aids in image interpretation as well as explaining typical injury patterns. The expected appearance of the physis and regional bone marrow signal is also of utmost importance.Ultrasonography is a valuable tool in pediatric musculoskeletal imaging but is limited when there is concern for intra-articular pathology. Computed tomography tends to be reserved for preoperative evaluation. We describe normal variation and maturation-dependent pathology of the pediatric ankle with an emphasis on imaging considerations.
