    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Pediatric Orthopedics
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Proximal tibiofibular synostosis is a rare congenital anomaly.
    • This case presents a unique 10-year follow-up of a patient with this condition.

    Observation:

    • The lesion was first identified radiographically in a 3-year-old patient.
    • Symptoms emerged at age 13 following strenuous physical activity, specifically vigorous running.

    Findings:

    • The patient experienced symptomatic proximal tibiofibular synostosis.
    • Treatment with custom-molded shoe orthotics provided successful symptom relief.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for late-onset symptoms in proximal tibiofibular synostosis.
  • Custom orthotics can be an effective non-surgical treatment for symptomatic proximal tibiofibular synostosis.
  • Long-term follow-up is crucial for understanding the natural history and management of this condition.
