Ossification of the interosseous membrane of the leg is considered a form of heterotopic ossification. It is typically seen as bridging ossification between the tibia and fibula.
Three types have been described.
-
type I: usually occurs after a syndesmosis ankle sprain
-
type II: usually from a tibial fracture
-
type III: by repetitive minor traumas to the leg
