Abstract
The os subtibiale is a rare accessory bone, which should be distinguished from fracture of the medial malleolus because misinterpretation leads to the unnecessary surgery and immobilization. Herein, we report 3 cases of a symptomatic os subtibiale in preadolescent athlete with a review of the relevant literature.
