“…8 Coexistence of os trigonum syndrome and stenosing tenosynovitis of the flexor hallucis longus tendon has been described in ballet dancers and athletes. 1,5,10 Patients may complain of pain, tenderness, and mild swelling in the posterolateral aspect of the talus and may have symptoms of giving way. The symptoms are accentuated by forced plantarflexion of the foot.…”

“…8 The differential diagnoses include ankle sprain, an osteochondral lesion, posterior pseudomeniscus or plica in the posterior ankle, Achilles rupture, Achilles tendinitis, posterior tibial tendinitis, retrocalcaneal bursitis, Haglund deformity, peroneal subluxation, tarsal tunnel syndrome, talofibular arthritis, mortise diastasis, calcaneal fracture, ganglion, soleus syndrome, problems of medial posterior tubercle of the talus, Cedell fracture of the medial tubercle of the posterior process of the talus, tarsal coalition, Sever disease, a retrocalcaneal spur, and arthritis. 5,9 By comparing clinical, laboratory and radiographic findings, exclusion of the enumerated lesions may be made without difficulty.…”

Pain located in the posterior ankle region is a common complaint in athletes who perform activities with the ankle in the equinus position, such as swimming, diving, figure skating, gymnastics, soccer playing, and dancing. Os trigonum syndrome and flexor hallucis tendinitis are among the common causes of posterior ankle pain. 2,6 Symptoms that are caused by some pathologic conditions of the posterolateral process of the talus are known as the os trigonum syndrome. Synonymous terms are symptomatic os trigonum, talar compression syndrome, posterior ankle impingement syndrome, posterior ankle block, posterior tibiotalar impingement syndrome, posterior impingement. Flexor hallucis longus tenosynovitis may coexist with the os trigonum syndrome. 1,2,5,6,7 Bilateral os trigonum syndrome is not seen frequently. Moreover, bilateral os trigonum syndrome and bilateral flexor hallucis longus tenosynovitis are very rare. 1,4 We report a case of bilateral os trigonum syndrome and bilateral tenosynovitis of flexor hallucis longus muscle in a middle-aged teacher.
