    Calcifications near the ankle bone may mimic tendinitis but are often within the tibiofibular ligament. Accurate diagnosis prevents unnecessary treatment for ankle sprains.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic imaging
    • Radiology
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • Ankle sprains are common injuries.
    • Radiographic examination is a standard diagnostic tool for ankle injuries.
    • Calcifications adjacent to bony structures can be challenging to interpret.

    Observation:

    • Two patients with ankle sprains presented with calcifications near the posterior tibial margin on lateral radiographs.
    • Initial radiographic findings suggested calcifying peroneus longus tendinitis.
    • Advanced imaging, including tangential views and computed tomography (CT), was performed for further evaluation.

    Findings:

    • The calcifications were definitively located within the tibial insertion of the posterior and inferior tibio-fibular ligament.
    • The findings ruled out calcifying peroneus longus tendinitis in both cases.

  • The study highlights a potential diagnostic pitfall in ankle imaging.

    • Implications:

    • Correctly identifying the location of calcifications is crucial for accurate diagnosis of ankle joint pathology.
    • Misdiagnosis of tendinitis can lead to inappropriate and unnecessary treatments.
    • This finding emphasizes the importance of detailed imaging analysis and advanced modalities for complex ankle cases.
