Impingement syndrome of the ankle caused by a medial meniscoid lesion

Kenneth A. Egol, J. Serge Parisien

Abstract

Meniscoid lesion of the ankle is a well-described condition involving the anterolateral aspect of the ankle joint. To our knowledge, there are no reports of this condition involving the medial aspect of the ankle in the literature. We present the case of a 27-year-old man with a chronic deltoid ligament rupture who had developed anteromedial impingement syndrome of the ankle. The patient was treated with an arthroscopic debridement of the lesion and experienced a complete recovery.
