Running is a common cause of foot and ankle injuries. Accurate diagnosis is important for appropriate management to resolve the issue. For clarity of diagnoses the physician should be able to perform a thorough physical examination in conjunction with point of care ultrasound (POCUS). The authors report a case study of a young male runner with lateral ankle pain. Based on clinical assessment and POCUS, a diagnosis of fibularis intersection syndrome was proposed. This type of injury can be treated with graded eccentric loading of fibularis tendons and proprioceptive exercises. This case report highlights the importance of POCUS to determine the appropriate diagnosis and management.
