The overall incidence of tarsal coalition in the general population is unknown, but it is far less than 1%. Calcaneonavicular coalition was found to be the most common type (53%), followed by talocalcaneal coalition (37%). The other types appear infrequently. Most calcaneonavicular and talocalcaneal coalitions present as a painful foot of some type. Peroneal spastic flatfoot is a rare finding and occurred in only two of 22 talocalcaneal coalitions in the present study. Talonavicular coalitions were always associated with other congenital foot anomalies and were typically asymptomatic. Age at presentation, sex, and time to diagnosis were not statistically different among patients with coalitions at different locations. It is thought that clinical presentation corresponds to ossification of the coalition, which occurs an average of three to four years later.

The accessory navicular (AN) is an accessory bone located on the posteromedial aspect of the navicular tuberosity that can cause pain following overuse or trauma, particularly during childhood. However, the detailed epidemiological characteristics of AN in children have not been well studied. This study aimed to clarify the prevalence of AN and painful AN among Japanese children by examining the characteristics according to sex and age.

Objective: Soft tissue defects and postoperative wound healing complications related to calcaneus fractures may result in significant morbidity. The aim of this study was to investigate whether percutaneous minimally invasive screw internal fixation (PMISIF) can change this situation in the treatment of calcaneal fractures, and aimed to explore the mechanical effects of different internal fixation methods on Sanders type III calcaneal fractures through finite element analysis.
Methods: This retrospective analysis focused on 83 patients with Sanders II and III calcaneal fractures from March 2017 to March 2022.

Lisfranc injuries were previously described as fracture-dislocations of the tarsometatarsal joints. With advancements in modern imaging, subtle Lisfranc injuries are now more frequently recognized, revealing that their true incidence is much higher than previously thought. Injury patterns can vary widely in severity and anatomy.

Article Synopsis
- Maxillectomy, a surgical procedure for head and neck cancers, often leads to a high rate of ophthalmic complications due to its effects on the eye area, with this study evaluating such issues over a 20-year period at a university hospital.* -
- In a cohort of 101 out of 163 patients who had undergone maxillectomy, 95.6% experienced at least one ophthalmic complication, with the most common affecting the cornea/conjunctiva (56%), eyelids (48.4%), and the lacrimal system (38.5%).* -
- Factors influencing these complications included orbital floor resection and radiotherapy, with many patients requiring additional surgical interventions, like tissue
