Abstract
The case of a young healthy sportsman and acute exacerbation of chronic infragenicular pain is presented. Further investigation revealed an obstruction of the tibiofibular trunk due to an osteochondroma, arising from the fibula, which was immediately resected. Osteochondroma is observed in 1-2% of the population and may present with vascular complications. In young patients and athletes, leg pain may be of vascular origin due to an entrapment or compression and should always be considered.
