MCQs-peds foot 3
vertical talus - hindfoot equinovalgus, forefoot dorsiflexion and abduction/valgus.
- a 16 year old with symptomatic talonavicular coalition with degenerative changes should probably undergo triple arthrodesis.
- the prognosis for tarsal coalition excision is better if the bar is fibrous or cartilaginous rather than bone. The most common types are calcaneonavicular and talocalcaneal.
- initial treatment of a coalition is symptomatic control - bracing, NSAIDs, etc.; failing this, excise if no degenerative changes exist.
