Objective: Potential disadvantages of open technique for talocalcaneal coalition (TCC) include a risk of wound infection, opioid drug dependence, and prolonged hospitalization. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the effectiveness and safety of endoscopic resection of the TCC.
Methods: A retrospective study from June 2019 to February 2023was conducted on 16 consecutively admitted patients who were diagnosed by imaging to have TCC for whom conservative treatment had failed and who undergone arthroscopic resection.

Tarsal coalition is an uncommon cause of insidious-onset foot pain typically affecting adolescents. Cuboid-navicular coalitions are among the rarest variety, comprising less than 1% of all tarsal coalitions. This case report describes a female competitive gymnast in middle childhood with a 6-month history of worsening insidious onset right foot pain that forced withdrawal from all sporting activities.

Talocalcaneal coalitions (TCC) is the second most frequent tarsal coalition reported. Our aim was to review talocalcaneal coalition classifications and to propose a new classification emphasizing a therapeutic approach. None of the classifications described for TCC mention the presence of flatfoot or valgus hindfoot, which are the key elements when defining the optimal treatment of this disease.

Tarsal coalition occurs in 1% of the population and represents a congenital failure of segmentation in two or more tarsal bones. It most commonly occurs at the talocalcaneal and calcaneonavicular joint. Although commonly asymptomatic, it may present with pain, rigidity, and pes planus.

Cubonavicular coalition is a rare congenital anomaly involving fibrous or osseous fusion between the cuboid and navicular bones. This case report presents a comprehensive analysis of a 10-year-old female patient with cubonavicular coalition, detailing the diagnostic challenges and tailored therapeutic interventions. The patient presented with persistent left foot pain and restricted range of motion.

Background: In the presence of pain over the lateral aspect of the foot or recurrent ankle sprain in children, medical imaging is often employed to investigate potential causes, such as a calcaneonavicular coalition or a too-long anterior process (TLAP) of the calcaneus. Diagnosis and categorization of calcaneonavicular coalitions (synostosis, synchondrosis, or synfibrosis) is generally facilitated through imaging, in contrast to TLAP, which lacks well-defined semiological characteristics, apart from a calcaneonavicular space measurement of less than 5 mm. However, this measurement initially performed on an oblique view radiograph can be subject to a lack of precision due to positional variations of the foot and overlapping bones.

Adult tarsal coalition consists in abnormal union of two or more tarsal bones. Reported incidence ranges between 1 and 13%. It is generally a congenital condition, due to dominant autosomal chromosome disorder, but with some acquired forms following trauma or inflammatory pathology.

» Tarsal coalitions most commonly affect the calcaneonavicular and talocalcaneal joints in up to 13% of the general population. They alter the mechanics of the subtalar joint, limiting inversion and eversion, and place excessive stress on neighboring joints causing pain, recurrent ankle sprains, and/or progressive pes planus during the adolescent growth spurt.» While many coalitions are identified on radiographs, advanced imaging with computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging is sometimes required.

Ankle and foot deformity is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders in children and a leading cause of functional impairment and diminished quality of life when not treated. A spectrum of conditions may produce foot and ankle deformities, with congenital disorders the most frequent cause, followed by acquired conditions. Congenital disorders include congenital talipes equinovarus or congenital clubfoot, metatarsus adductus, skewfoot, congenital vertical talus, and tarsal coalition.

Introduction: Calcaneonavicular coalitions (CC) affect approximately 1% of the general population. CC or Too-long anterior process (TLAP) result in "repeated sprains" that can be associated with foot and/or ankle chronic pain. The main objective of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of surgery using the AOFAS score.

Background: Although tarsal coalition represents the most common cause of peroneal spastic flatfoot, its existence cannot be verified in several cases. In some patients with rigid flatfoot, no cause can be detected after clinical, laboratory, and radiologic examination, and the condition is called idiopathic peroneal spastic flatfoot (IPSF). This study aimed to present our experience with surgical management and outcomes in patients with IPSF.

Tarsal coalition (TC) is a congenital abnormal connection (fibrous, cartilaginous, or osseous) between two or more bones in the hind and midfoot, mostly consisting of calcaneonavicular or talocalcaneal coalition, and is often asymptomatic. However, TCs may result in foot motion limitation and pain with or without flatfoot (pes planus), arising in adolescents and young adults. Appropriate imaging is needed to pinpoint foot pain in the (suspected) TC, starting with plain radiographs.

Cubonavicular coalition is a rare type of tarsal coalition that can be described as osseous or nonosseous (fibrous, cartilaginous, or fibrocartilaginous). Typically, it manifests symptoms during adolescence, as it presents with pain at the Mid-hindfoot and with decreased range of motion at the midtarsal joints, hindfoot valgus deformity, or peroneal spasm. Here, we present a rare case of cubonavicular coalition in a middle-aged woman with atypical presentation and a review of the literature.
