title: Os vesalianum as a cause of lateral foot pain: a familial case and its treatment.
abstract: This is a rare case of bilateral symptomatic os vesalianum in a 13-year-old girl whose mother had the same condition unilaterally. We performed osteosynthesis and bone grafting instead of a simple resection to preserve the peroneus brevis tendon, with excellent results.
