Background

Surgical resection of middle facet tarsal coalition is a well documented treatment option in symptomatic individuals that do not respond to conservative treatment. The ability to return to full recreational activity post resection may have implications on foot biomechanics and possibly degenerative changes in the subtalar and adjacent joints.

Hypothesis

Open resection of middle facet tarsal coalitions should improve subtalar joint motion and biomechanical function and facilitate return to sports.
