Tarsal Coalition

01/01/2008 - "We saw a dramatic difference in frequency of tarsal coalitions when we applied a prospec- tive approach; 11.5% of all patients (66/574) had a coali- tion, while 12.2% of studies (70/574) demonstrated tarsal coalitions: 25.7% (18/70) were subtalar, 71.4% (50/70) were calcaneonavicular, and 2.9% (2/70) had both.

02/01/2011 - "Given a rigid and painful foot syndrome suggestive of tarsal coalition, two diagnostic situations arise: (a) the clinical aspect is suggestive and standard X-ray enables diagnosis; (b) the clinical aspect is suggestive, but radiography proves non-contributive, in which case we recommend MRI with sagittal, frontal and axial slices in gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted and fat-sat T2-weighted sequences, revealing direct (cartilaginous or fibrous coalition) or indirect signs (peripheral inflammation, osteomedullary edema, chondral lesion) unobtainable on CT scans. "

02/01/2014 - "Pediatric flatfeet range from the painless flexible normal variant of growth, to stiff or painful manifestations of tarsal coalition, collagen abnormalities, neurologic disease, or other underlying condition. "

05/01/2010 - "Show that the surgical release of the coalition area and the Grice subtalar arthrodesis are useful for the treatment of tarsal coalition, and describe the surgical techniques used. "
01/01/2019 - "Due to the asymptomatic tarsal coalition and the already firmly fixed subtalar joint, the patient was treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with satisfactory outcomes instead of ORIF in combination with subtalar arthrodesis. "
12/01/2016 - "When conservative care fails, surgical intervention for tarsal coalition includes excision of the coalition or joint arthrodesis. "
11/01/2015 - "Subtalar Joint Distraction Arthrodesis to Correct Calcaneal Valgus in Pediatric Patients with Tarsal Coalition: A Case Series."
05/01/2015 - "Our data also suggest that primary treatment of tarsal coalition with resection and concomitant arthrodesis increases the risk of requiring a second fusion in the future."

06/01/2016 - "Several procedures such as osteotomies for radius malunions or tarsal coalition could become standard, thanks to the significant assistance provided by rapid prototyping patient-specific surgical guides in planning and performing such operations. "
09/05/2012 - "We retrospectively reviewed the records for eight patients with thirteen painful talocalcaneal tarsal coalitions who had undergone a calcaneal lengthening osteotomy for deformity correction with or without coalition resection between 1991 and 2005. "
09/05/2012 - "Talocalcaneal tarsal coalitions and the calcaneal lengthening osteotomy: the role of deformity correction."
09/05/2012 - "Calcaneal lengthening osteotomy fully corrected the valgus deformity and provided short-to-intermediate term pain relief for the five patients (nine feet) in whom the talocalcaneal tarsal coalition was unresectable. "
08/01/2004 - "Sixteen feet (15 patients) had plantarflexion opening wedge medial cuneiform osteotomies to correct forefoot varus associated with flatfoot deformities from several etiologies, including congenital flatfoot (six feet, average age 37 years), tarsal coalition (five feet, average age 15 years), overcorrected clubfoot deformity (two feet, ages 17 years and 18 years), skewfoot (one foot, age 15 years), chronic posterior tibial tendon insufficiency (one foot, 41 years), and rheumatoid arthritis (one foot, age 56 years). "

01/01/2020 - "Tarsal coalitions are initially managed with conservative therapy, and when this approach fails, surgery is performed. "
06/01/2013 - "Symptomatic tarsal coalitions failing conservative treatment are traditionally managed by open resection. "
11/01/2012 - "This case represents the need to further explore and document a conservative treatment protocol for tarsal coalition."
05/01/2007 - "Conservative treatment failure in symptomatic tarsal coalition usually mandates bar resection as a preferred operative alternative. "
01/01/1994 - "Operative treatment is suitable, when tarsal coalitions are symptomatic or after failure of conservative treatment. "

11/20/2023 - "There were no differences in complication rates between obese and normal-weight patients in a subgroup analysis of tarsal coalition procedures or clubfoot tibialis anterior tendon transfer procedures. "
