Abstract:
Os subtibiale is a rare accessory ossicle of the ankle, not considered to be clinically significant. However, its presence in trauma patients may cause a misdiagnosis such as malleolar fracture and over-treatment. Because the ossicle is attached to the deltoid ligament, ankle trauma that causes a medial compartment injury may detach the os subtibiale from the medial malleolus. In these situations, magnetic resonance imaging may help to diagnose the deltoid injury, demonstrate the features of the ossicle, and guide the treatment process.

Anterior Compartment
The quadriceps femoris, the most visible muscle of the anterior compartment, is integral for leg extension and thigh flexion. It is formed by merging four distinct muscles — the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris. The quadriceps tendon, a shared tendon of the four quadriceps muscles, is affixed...
