Functional and radiological outcomes after tarsal coalition resections: A minimum 5-year follow-up
The Journal of Foot & Ankle Surgery Nov 13, 2019
Yildiz KI, et al. - Thirty-three individuals between 12 and 35 years old with symptomatic tarsal coalitions, each undergoing tarsal coalition resections [24 talocalcaneal (TC) and 9 calcaneonavicular (CN)] took part in this study in order to report and contrast the functional and radiological outcomes following TC and CN coalition resections. Among individuals in the two groups, no variation in the range of motion, outcome scores, tripod index score, and modified Kellgren-Lawrence scale score. A positive association was seen between the size of the TC coalition, coalition/joint surface ratio, and hindfoot valgus angle relative to outcome scores. Nevertheless, no correlation between the modified Kellgren-Lawrence scale score and outcome scores was discovered. At the minimum 5-year follow-up, between TC and CN resections, comparable functional and radiological outcomes were noted. In all individuals with TC resections and most persons with CN resections, subtalar joint osteoarthritis developed, however, a functional impairment was noted noticed.
