Article Synopsis
- * Three independent raters analyzed subjects' foot movements over multiple days while employing a four-segment foot model and performed statistical analysis to evaluate variability and differences by foot type during the stance phase of gait.
- * Findings indicated that while static measures showed significant differences among foot types, the MFM's ability to detect dynamic differences was limited, particularly with respect to certain movements like the hallux to forefoot range of motion; thus, its sensitivity for identifying variations between pathologic and non-pathologic foot
Talonavicular (TN) fusion is a common treatment for TN arthritis or deformity correction. There is incongruous evidence regarding remaining motion at the talocalcaneal and calcaneocuboid joints after TN fusion. Additionally, the effects of a malaligned TN fusion are not well understood and alignment of the fusion may be important for overall foot integrity.

The objective of this study is to report mid- to long-term results of the Salto Talaris TAA using prospectively collected patient-reported outcomes and implant survival rates with 4- to 13-year follow-up.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of prospectively collected data from 2 multicenter cohort studies from 3 centers.
Acute and chronic subtalar instability and commonly coexistent with other hindfoot pathology but can be difficult to diagnose. A high degree of clinical suspicion is required as most imaging modalities and clinical maneuvers are poor at detecting isolated subtalar instability. The initial treatment is similar to ankle instability, and a wide variety of operative interventions have been presented in the literature for persistent instability.
