Os subcalcaneum.

An 11-year-old female presented with a history of pain in the left heel. Radiologic studies of both feet displayed a bony mass unilaterally. This bony mass had been identified radiologically as being separate from the posterior portion of the calcaneus. Clinically, the os subcalcaneum displayed a syndesmotic attachment to the calcaneus. Removal of the ossicle rendered the patient aysmptomatic.

Plantar fibromatosis: staging by magnetic resonance imaging.

Plantar fibromatosis is a slow growing nodular thickening that occurs most often within the central band of the plantar aponeurosis. Since the lesion is not encapsulated, clinical margins are often difficult to define. Inadequate excision is the primary cause of recurrence. MRI is a nonionizing radiation technique that demonstrates excellent definition between pathological entities and normal anatomy. This may aid in the preoperative planning.
