Subtalar coalition resection utilizing live navigation: a technique tip
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purpose Describe the surgical technique of talocalcaneal coalition resection using live CT navigation. Methods A ten-year-old female with left talocalcaneal coalition hindfoot pain refractory to conservative management underwent surgical coalition resection using live CT navigation. The procedure and discussion of this technique is described in detail. Results With minimal radiation exposure to the patient, CT navigation for this complex talocalcaneal coalition was both helpful and potentially timesaving by allowing immediate localization and guided resection of the coalition. Conclusion In the case of a complex subtalar coalition resection, CT navigation poses minimal patient radiation exposure and allows immediate localization and guided resection of the coalition. Level of Evidence Level V.

UNLABELLED Talocalcaneal middle facet coalitions are associated with rigid pes planovalgus that often requires surgical intervention. Simple resection of the coalition is preferred for symptomatic cases in the absence of rearfoot arthritis. While resection of the coalition will remove the osseous restriction of motion and may eliminate pain, the procedure does not specifically correct the conco...
متن کاملA three-dimensional study of calcaneonavicular tarsal coalitions.
The authors studied 37 presumed calcaneonavicular tarsal coalitions from the Hamann-Todd Osteological Collection at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. The anatomy of the coalitions and the associated subtalar and transverse tarsal joints was quite variable. The coalitions in 8 specimens completely spared the anterior facet of the calcaneus and in 7 specimens it was partially replaced by t...
