Subtalar and ankle sprains are more frequently associated than previously suspected. In this study, 40 patients were analyzed, using subtalar arthrograms and ankle stress films. Thirty-two of the 40 patients had a rupture involving components of both subtalar and ankle capsuloligamentous structures. If ignored or improperly treated, these lesions may develop into a sinus tarsi syndrome or a chronically painful and unstable ankle. Negative stress films in the presence of a clinically serious ankle injury should arouse suspicion of an underlying subtalar sprain, as demonstrated in six patients with positive arthrograms.

Background: Several surgical techniques have been reported of subtalar instability (STI), but it remains a controversial topic without long-term clinical evidence. This study aimed to report the all-inside arthroscopic anatomic interosseous talocalcaneal ligament (ITCL) reconstruction technique and its long-term outcomes in STI patients with confirmed ITCL rupture.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on consecutive series of STI patients who underwent all-inside arthroscopic anatomic reconstruction of the ITCL using a gracilis autograft between January 2010 and December 2016.
The Predictability of Clinical Findings and Radiographs for Detecting Tarsal Coalition.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Boston Children's Hospital.
Introduction: Tarsal coalition is a disorder of the foot characterized by the abnormal union between 2 or more of the tarsal bones. A minority of patients will develop pain and limited motion when reaching adolescence, for whom surgical resection of the coalition may be necessary. The diagnostic value of clinical and radiologic signs remains unclear.

Article Synopsis
- Pathologies affecting the ankle joint and hindfoot present various symptoms, requiring effective diagnostic tools like MRI to evaluate bone, joint, tendon, and soft tissue abnormalities.
- A study conducted at Dr. D. Y. Patil Medical College and Hospital analyzed MRI results from 105 participants, focusing on clinical profiles, symptom duration, and types of pathologies.
- Results showed that pain and restricted movement were common symptoms, with traumatic causes being the most prevalent, and MRI scans revealing conditions such as marrow edema, subchondral cysts, fractures, and tendon issues, particularly affecting the Achilles tendon.
Analysis of segmental coordination in the lower extremity using vector coding: a pilot return-to-play study of acute ankle sprain.

: Acute ankle sprain may affect ankle function during sport and daily activities. This study aimed to use vector coding technique to analyze the difference over time between injured and healthy lower limb during the first week of acute ankle sprain phase (P1) and post a 1-month recovery phase (P2) to understand the return-to-play coordination strategy in the lower extremity. : Six females attended the gait experiments with attached 40 reflective markers using eight-camera Vicon motion capture system.

Introduction: Health specialists suggest a conservative approach comprising non-pharmacological interventions as the initial course of action for individuals with repetitive ankle sprain due to ankle instability. This systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness of biomechanical devices (Foot Orthoses, Ankle Orthoses, and Taping) on gait and muscle activity in individuals with ankle instability.
Methods: A systematic search was performed on electronic databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Clinical Trials.
