From the case:
Talocalcaneal coalition
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/33618/annotated_viewer_json?iframe=true\u0026lang=us"}
There is close approximation of the middle facet of calcaneum with the talus with sclerosis and degeneration medially. No bony bar is demonstrated suggestive of fibrous or cartilaginous coalition.
Case Discussion
Talocalcaneal coalition is a not frequently encountered radiological abnormality, but should be kept in mind in young adults with chronic pain on whom the other causative factors such as fracture, ligamentous or tendinous pathologies have been excluded.
