Bilateral talocalcaneal tarsal coalition with flatfeet treated with single-stage coalition resection and calcaneal lengthening osteotomy: A case report

A coalition is a bridge connecting osseous structures. Tarsal coalitions typically involve talocalcaneal and calcaneonavicular joints. As result, patients might present with pain and/or rigid flatfoot deformity. We outline case of bilateral middle facets tarsal flatfeet who was treated resection combined reconstruction. the patient an 11-year-old Saudi girl had progressive for which non-operative treatment failed. single-stage facet concomitant Evans calcaneal lengthening osteotomy gastrocnemius recession performed. Postoperatively, American Orthopaedic Foot Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle midfoot score measured, 90/100. The outcome satisfactory, other foot operated on 6 months later, same procedure (AOFAS: 90/100). Six years follow-up showed no recurrence satisfactory lifestyle activity limitation. aimed to highlight AOFAS after resecting while reconstructing in single-staged procedure.
