Abstract:
Talocalcaneal coalition known as the most common tarsal coalition is a congenital failure of segmentation. Talocalcaneal coalition with complete bone bridge is very rare, and there are few references in the literature about the clinical results and the operative method for this type of tarsal coalition. We report a case of 15 years old female with complete talocalcaneal coalition, who showed good clinical results by lateral sliding calcaneal osteotomy.
