ABSTRACT
This is a case report of a 21-year-old female undergraduate student who sustained bilateral ankle injuries while jumping from a moving van wearing 3-inch high heel shoes. Upon initial presentation, her injury was treated conservatively as an acute bilateral ankle sprain for 6 weeks. However, the patient reported no improvement of pain and remained unable to self-ambulate. Bilateral MRI and CT scans of both ankles demonstrated bilateral os trigonum fractures. She underwent bilateral posterior ankle arthroscopic débridement of both os trigonum. At the postoperative 36-month follow-up, the patient reported notable improvement of all functional outcomes (36-item Short Form survey and Foot and Ankle Ability Measure), reported return to the same level of sports activities, and experienced no pain (visual analog scale) on either ankle. This is the first report in the literature of bilateral os trigonum fracture treated with simultaneous posterior ankle arthroscopic débridement.
