Os Trigonum Syndrome: What It Is and How It Is Treated
Os Trigonum Syndrome is a painful condition caused by a small bone at the back of the ankle called the os trigonum. This bone is present in some people from birth and often becomes painful due to an injury or overuse.

Symptoms
• Pain: At the back of the ankle, especially when moving the toes upward.
• Swelling and Tenderness: Swelling and pressure-related pain in the affected area.
• Limited Motion: Restricted ankle movements and discomfort.

Causes
Os Trigonum Syndrome usually occurs after ankle injuries. Sometimes, the bone is congenital and can cause pain when it gets compressed during certain movements or activities.

Endoscopic Treatment Method (Minimally Invasive – Camera-Assisted)
At our clinic, we offer endoscopic treatment for Os Trigonum Syndrome. This minimally invasive procedure involves:
• Minimal Invasive Access: Through small incisions, a camera (endoscope) and specialized surgical instruments are inserted behind the ankle.
• Removal of the Os Trigonum: The problematic os trigonum is carefully removed while preserving surrounding tissues.
• Faster Recovery: The endoscopic approach causes less tissue damage, usually resulting in a quicker recovery.

If you are experiencing symptoms of Os Trigonum Syndrome and want more information about endoscopic treatment, contact our clinic. You can schedule an appointment with our expert team to determine the best treatment options for your condition.
