CUBOID-NAVICULAR TARSAL COALITION

Marcelo Pires Prado et al. Rev Bras Ortop. .

Abstract

The authors present the case of a nine-year-old female patient who presented with pain in her right foot associated with physical activities. After this case was diagnosed as cuboid-navicular tarsal coalition, the patient was treated surgically with resection of the coalition, thereby resolving the symptoms. The literature was reviewed and the importance of adequate physical examination and imaging assessment for investigating foot pain in children and adolescents was discussed.

Keywords: Foot Deformities, congenital/surgery; Subtalar Joint; Tarsal Bones/surgery.
