- Abstract
Case: An 11-year-old boy demonstrated chronic medial hindfoot pain. A 12-year-old boy experienced acute pain and swelling in his right medial ankle and hindfoot after a fall. This is the first report of sustentaculum tali fractures adjacent to a talocalcaneal tarsal coalition, likely resulting from a stress riser created by a rigid subtalar joint., Conclusion: These 2 cases represent unique causes of foot pain in the setting of tarsal coalitions, never before described. Patient-reported outcome measures demonstrated expected improved outcomes after excision of tarsal coalition. Awareness to this possibility will help clinicians treating foot and ankle conditions in children optimize their care., Competing Interests: Disclosure: The Disclosure of Potential Conflicts of Interest forms are provided with the online version of the article (http://links.lww.com/JBJSCC/B399)., (Copyright © 2021 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Incorporated.)
