Hi there

Thanks for the query

It shows that there is some possibility of anterior ankle inpingement due to some ossification seen near anterior ankle joint.

This may not be attributable to injury.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Aashish Raghu

Is there any way to resolve this without surgery? I have been doing psychos therapy and I’m ankle mobility exercises for the past 2 months

Detailed Answer:
If physiotherapy fails for 6 months then you can consider arthroscopic debridement to remove the cause of the inpingement.

Tibialis anterior is less likely to be involved unless there is contracture due to less use or repeated trauma.
