sesamoiditis os peroneum
The os peroneum syndrome ((sometimes termed painful os peroneum syndrome (POPS)) refers to a wide spectrum of conditions associated with an os peroneum at the lateral aspect of the foot. It can result in tenosynovitis and/or discontinuity of the peroneus longus tendon.
It can include one of more of the following:
- acute os peroneum fracture or diastasis of a multipartite os peroneum,
- chronic (healing or healed) os peroneum fracture or diastasis of a multipartite os peroneum with callus formation which can result in stenosing peroneus longus tenosynovitis
- attrition or partial rupture of the peroneus longus tendon, proximal or distal to the os peroneum
- frank rupture of the peroneus longus tendon with discontinuity proximal or distal to the os peroneum
- presence of a large peroneal tubercle on the lateral aspect of the calcaneus which entraps the peroneus longus tendon and/or the os peroneum during tendon excursion.
