Tarsal coalitions: an instructional review. 1981

A M Jacobs, and V Sollecito, and L Oloff, and N Klein

Tarsal coalitions, the majority of which are congenital, are abnormal unions between two or more tarsal bones. Acquired tarsal coalitions may result from trauma or from rheumatic conditions. Tarsal coalition may cause peroneal spastic flatfoot or rigid valgus foot without peroneal spasm. Surgery is not always essential in the treatment of tarsal coalitions; some patients will respond to conservative treatment.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007866	Leg	The inferior part of the lower extremity between the KNEE and the ANKLE.	Legs
D009128	Muscle Spasticity	A form of muscle hypertonia associated with upper MOTOR NEURON DISEASE. Resistance to passive stretch of a spastic muscle results in minimal initial resistance (a "free interval") followed by an incremental increase in muscle tone. Tone increases in proportion to the velocity of stretch. Spasticity is usually accompanied by HYPERREFLEXIA and variable degrees of MUSCLE WEAKNESS.
