An os trigonum is seen with alteration of its marrow signal, being of low T1 and high T2 / STIR (bone marrow edema/contusion), as well as surrounding soft tissue edema signal. Similar marrow signal changes are seen within the posterior talar aspect. Mild amount of tibiotalar and sub-talar joint effusion is noted.
Case Discussion
In light of patient's history, the above described changes are suggestive of posterior ankle impingement (os trigonum) syndrome with tibiotalar and sub-talar joint effusion.
