I have a patient that I am treating for Os Trigonum Syndrome except the Os Trigonum appears to be fused to the calcaneus just posterior to the lateral process of the talus, is this still considered an Os Trigonum? B/L views show a similar presentation on the opposite foot. This patient also has significant peroneal subluxation with audible popping and there is Talo-navicular joint spurring and DJD are these findings linked to the chronic effects of a lack of plantarflextion secondary to the Os Trigonum?
