Arthritis of the subtalar joint associated with sustentaculum tali facet configuration.
نویسنده
چکیده
The articular facets of the sustentaculum tali have a variety of configurations that are generally viewed as nonmetric traits of little functional significance. Bruckner (1987), in contrast, has hypothesised that sustentaculum tali facet variations are functionally important because they influence subtalar joint stability. To test this hypothesis, 191 calcanei were analysed for correlations between sustentaculum tali facet morphology and osteoarthritis of the subtalar joint. Calcanei with 2 separate sustentaculum tali facets had a lower frequency of arthritic changes associated with joint instability than calcanei with other facet configurations. This finding supports Bruckner's hypothesis that subtalar joint facet configuration is a factor in foot mobility.

Irreducible Subtalar Dislocation Caused by Sustentaculum Tali Incarceration
INTRODUCTION Subtalar dislocation is an uncommon lesion in traumatology chiefly when it concerns the lateral form. Surgical treatment is required when a fracture is related or the dislocation is irreducible. Even well treated, these dislocations progress unavoidably to subtalar arthrosis, which stays well tolerated. CASE REPORT A 46-year-old male with irreducible lateral subtalar dislocation ...

Two male patients aged 9 and 16 years were admitted with complaints of ankle pain and intoeing. There was no history of trauma and arthritis. In the first case, radiography examination revealed a “C sign” (a cortical continuity from the medial portion of the talus to the sustentaculum tali), a narrowing in the middle subtalar joint space, and convexity in the lower margin of the sustentaculum t...
متن کاملThe subtalar joint
In a simplified way, one can divide the subtalar joint into two parts, an anterior and a posterior part. Anteriorly, the talar head is located on the anterior and middle facets of the calcaneus, forming the acetabulum pedis with the posterior surface of the navicular bone.1 However, it is important to mention that the talar head is not only supported by the articulating surfaces of the calcaneu...

Introduction: Out of different tarsal bones ,Talus (astragalus), is the only bone which has no muscular or tendinous attachment. It forms many joints like talocrural, subtalar and talocalcaneo-navicular joints. The prior acquaintance with the anatomical set up of talus and its various articulations holds significance not only in delineating the underlying pathology but also helps in its treatme...

OBJECTIVE In the surgery of calcaneal fracture, whether the sustentaculum tali screw should always be placed is widely controversial. The aim of this study was to explore the necessity and function of the sustentaculum tali screw placement for the treatment of Sanders type II calcaneal fracture. METHODS The finite element analysis was used in this study. After the establishment of the finite ...
