Os Peroneum (Extra Bone Outside of Foot) | Seattle Podiatrist

www.footankle.com/accessory-bo...
The os peroneum is an extra bone in the foot that is found within one of the peroneal tendons off of the cuboid bone and the base of the 5th metatarsal bone on the outside of the foot.
These are pretty common being found in over 20% of people. If you have an os peroneum, you will be more prone to tendonitis and pain of the peroneus longus tendon on the outside of the foot. When treating people who have pain associated with os peroneum we have a goal to reduce tension on the peroneal tendon as will usually eliminate pain associated with os peroneum.
We will often prescribe orthotics or arch supports to reduce tension on the peroneal tendons and in many cases this is all that is needed for treatment. In some cases we need to immobilize the foot in a walking boot or ankle brace for several weeks to allow healing.
We often use orthotics for treating pain associated with os peroneum and other accessory bones of the feet. Orthotics should be designed to reduce tension on the peroneus longus tendon and also act to more force from the outside of the foot to the inside arch.
If you are in the Seattle area appointments can be made from our website at www.footankle.com/.

I have this on both feet, never felt pain, just noticed it's there and doesn't have any use, I think tho, it makes me have more balance

[@cricket-tx1bq]

Same I have a lump but no pain

[@archana9232]

​@@cricket-tx1bqsame problem me. What's your treatment now?

[@Shenaverytheartist]

I came to this video because my son who is 11 years old, have this extra bone on both feet. He is my 5th child and the only one that has it. He is an amazing swimmer and he said the extra bone don't hurt. I just wanted to understand the why and effects of it.

[@katomiler843]

Great post, cheers.

[@Footankle]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ericjohnston443]

this is not os peroneum. this is os vesalianum. The os peroneum is located within the peroneal longus tendon and is under the cuboid.

[@haileynichelle8343]

Thank you!

[@curiousaboutculture]

Thanks for the excellent video. I've been feeling pain on the outside of my foot after a hike a month ago and this may be the problem as I have a very pronounced bone on the outside of my foot. When doing a search, I also came up with the term cuboid bone. Do you know of any podiatrists in the Orange County, CA area?

[@prodigyprodigy4314]

I have this. I don’t have pain though

[@wrnowown]

So dependable

[@noorafsah5042]

I have this in my right foot. My left foot is normal. Always hated the bone protruding out (I remember it started showing in my teens, before that the foot appeared normal) and wanted to get rid of the damn thing it makes my foot look ugly.

[@lh8000]

Mine aren't as noticeable now that I'm older, more visible in my younger days. Thought it was a foot deformation honestly.

[@JustDontPls]

Low Key lmaoooo bruh I’m looking at my shit rn freaking the fuck out 🤮

[@Hbd2002]

Ah ha so I’m not the only one that has this! I don’t know anyone else that has this. I have calluses growing on both of mine which make it even bigger. I get pain in my arches and my feet overpronate. I wear wider shoes to avoid putting pressure on it

[@cricket-tx1bq]

I have this it is not hurting is it normal for them not to hurt if not please please let me know god bless

[@CathMan28French]

I have this and I need surgery :( it caused an avulsion fracture which isn't healing.

[@tabithamatekwa4954]

And I have them in both feet they don't hurt

[@chefjeff3120]

I changed shoes and it started feeling immediately better. I'd like to eventually return to barefoot shoes though. Work on getting your feet strong to avoid damage!

[@chizee3945]

Can't they cut it off?

[@Megaheart]

i have that but dont get pain

[@dinodestiny5186]

I have one but it don’t hurt

[@spyiida]

I got that bone. I can’t use most shoes. But I’m scared of getting it cut off.

[@jayykills7667]

I have this how do you get rid of it I'm 9 please help

[@Footankle]

Usually it is simply a matter of reducing the tension on the tendon that attaches here to eliminate the pain. Show this page to your parents: www.footankle.com/accessory-bones-and-extra-bones-of-the-feet/

[@marshagordon6183]

Mine is fractured, causes alot of issues. Have been home bound long time. Moon boot gave some relief but too difficult to get around. Even shopping is painful. Fracture not healing. Instead of union, 2 separate peroneums. Probably have to live with it and be careful until fully healed. Often had foot problems, now I know the main reason.

[@arkranum9487]

I have the bone but it doesn’t hurt it just turned red when i wear some shoes

[@Wilma1529]

To a foot Podiatrist. I have a 9 year exceptionally good looking daughter. She is the Full Package Talent wise. Karate, dance, sing act. Mother size 5.5 shoe, 11 shoe for me. Question? Can these two protrusions be surgically removed or shaved to where the feet are streamlined outwardly given the slight indentation?

[@Footankle]

Foot surgery should never be considered except to relieve pain that cannot be treated conservatively.

[@emilsamuelsson9671]

What the actual fuck. Dumbest question I've found on KZbin, and that says alot.
