    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Sports Medicine
    • Bone Physiology

    Background:

    • Heterotopic ossification, the formation of bone in non-skeletal tissues, can cause significant pain and functional limitation.
    • Athletes are particularly susceptible to conditions affecting ankle mobility and performance.
    • Conservative management of symptomatic exostosis in the ankle often yields limited results.

    Observation:

    • A rare case of heterotopic bone formation (exostosis) was identified in the ankle of a young, athletic male.
    • The patient experienced persistent symptoms despite conservative treatment approaches.
    • Surgical intervention was pursued to address the debilitating exostosis.

    Findings:

    • Surgical resection of talar neck and tibial exostosis was performed via an anterior medial approach.

  • Postoperative physical therapy facilitated recovery.
  • The patient experienced complete pain resolution and restored ankle dorsiflexion within two months.

    • Implications:

    • Surgical excision of heterotopic bone offers a viable treatment option for athletes experiencing ankle dysfunction.
    • Early and effective surgical intervention can lead to rapid return to high-level athletic activity.
    • This case highlights the importance of considering surgical management for recalcitrant exostosis in young athletes.
