An os peroneum is a small accessory bone of the foot located at the lateral aspect of the cuboid within the substance of the fibularis longus tendon as it arches around the cuboid.
On this page:
Epidemiology
It is a very common anatomical variant, seen in up to 26% of feet 1.
Differential diagnosis
It should not be mistaken for:
Related pathology
It can produce pathology (os peroneum syndrome) including fracture, fibularis longus tenosynovitis, and fibularis longus tendon tear.
