This study analyzed imaging, arthroscopic findings, and treatment responses for peroneal spastic flatfoot (PSFF) caused by talocalcaneal impingement at the accessory anterolateral talar facet (AALTF) (accessory talar facet impingement) in 13 adolescents without histories of trauma and tarsal coalition. The AALTF was determined with computed tomography and MRI. Focal abutting bone marrow edema (FABME) on MRI around the AALTF was confirmed. In seven patients who underwent AALTF resection, subtalar arthroscopy was performed. All experienced alleviation PSFF after treatment; reduction in FABME was observed. AALTF resection alone is beneficial for PSFF caused by accessory talar facet impingement when peroneal spasms are restored by an injection of local anesthesia.

Tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) fusion with an intramedullary nail (IMN) has been utilized for a myriad of indications in hindfoot and ankle reconstruction. However, some controversies remain on the optimal position of the hindfoot. Previous studies have reported on the potential medialization of the rearfoot during insertion of the IMN, but few studies have examined the potential affect on the subtalar joint.

The accessory anterolateral talar facet (AALTF) is an anatomical variation that broadens the apex of the lateral talar process. Studies have associated it with other tarsal coalitions as a cause of rigid painful flatfoot. However, a coalition of an AALTF has never been described before.

Background: The spring ligament fibrocartilaginous complex (SLFC), which is essential for stabilizing the medial longitudinal arch, features a little-explored fibrocartilaginous facet within its superomedial aspect, articulating with the talar head. This research aimed to provide a detailed anatomical description of this facet, designated as the spring ligament articular facet (SLAF).
Methods: Nine normally aligned cadaveric lower limbs were dissected, approaching the SLFC from a superior direction.

Background: Osteochondral autologous transplantation (OAT) has been widely used in the treatment of osteochondral lesion of the talus (OLT). Previous studies have reported successful outcomes following the use of osteochondral autogenous grafts from the intercondylar notch of the knee or a non-weight-bearing region of the femoral condyle. However, donor-site morbidity of the knee joint has been observed in several cases.
