Figure <strong>47</strong>-33. Os trigonum syndrome in an 11-yearold<br />
competitive Irish dancer. Lateral view <strong>of</strong> the<br />
symptomatic left ankle (A) shows a small os trigonum,<br />
a common normal variant. The asymptomatic right<br />
side (B) is shown for comparison. C, Midsagittal T1-<br />
weighted image shows the small os trigonum (arrow).<br />
D, Corresponding sagittal inversion recovery image<br />
shows bone marrow edema in the os trigonum (arrow)<br />
as well as in the adjacent talus (arrowhead). E, Straight<br />
axial proton-density–weighted image shows the<br />
irregular cleft (arrowhead) between the os trigonum<br />
<strong>and</strong> the talus. Well seen are the normal structures<br />
in the tarsal tunnel: the posterior tibial tendon (T),<br />
flexor digitorum longus tendon (D), neurovascular<br />
bundle (&), <strong>and</strong> flexor hallucis longus tendon (H).<br />
F, Corresponding axial T2-weighted fat-suppressed<br />
image shows bone marrow edema in the os trigonum<br />
(arrow) <strong>and</strong> in the adjacent talus (arrowhead).<br />
