Lateral midfoot and ankle pain is a frequent cause for consultation. Os peroneum is one of the accessory ossicles of the foot, located lateral to the cuboid, within the distal peroneus longus tendon. Painful os peroneum syndrome causes persistent heel pain and should be included in the differential diagnosis of ankle pain.
