Tuberculosis of the foot is an uncommon entity and the reported incidence is 0.1% to 0.3%. The isolated tuberculosis of talonavicular joint is exceptionally rare.

In doubtful cases, diagnosis should be confirmed by histopathol...

BACKGROUND The study aimed to introduce the isolated talonavicular and talonavicular-cuneiform arthrodesis for the stage III and IV Müller-Weiss disease and analyze their clinical outcomes. METHODS Thirty patients of stage III and IV Müller-Weiss disease were divided into the talonavicular (TN) arthrodesis group and the talonavicular-cuneiform (TNC) arthrodesis group according to the perinavi...

We examined 16 feet, 33 to 133 months (mean 83) after simultaneous calcaneocuboid and talonavicular fusions performed for a variety of painful disorders of the hindfoot. Objectively, four feet were rated excellent, eight good, four fair and none poor. There was one asymptomatic nonunion of the talonavicular joint. Progressive degenerative arthritis of the ankle was seen in six patients and of t...

INTRODUCTION Osteoarthritis of the talonavicular joint caused by inflammatory, degenerative, and post-traumatic arthritis has been commonly described, and isolated arthrodesis for talonavicular joint has usually been performed for such conditions. However, arthritis accompanied by pseudarthrosis of the navicular bone is an extremely rare case, and to the best of our knowledge, isolated arthrode...

CVT is a rare, severe, important deformity. This case report is to highlight the importance of deformity and early notification. Surgical correction as one stage procedure is probably the best procedure. CVT has no sex prevalence, bilateral in 50% of cases and more than 50% of cases a secondary cause implicated. Pathological anatomy involves dislocation of the talonavicular articulation with th...
