Stress fracture of the talus following resection of a talocalcaneal coalition: a case report

Foot Ankle Int. 2001 Jan;22(1):56-8. doi: 10.1177/107110070102200109.

Abstract

We report the case of a 15-year-old male with bilateral talocalcaneal coalition. Following resection of the symptomatic coalition, the patient developed a painful ankle. MR imaging revealed a stress fracture of the talar body. In this report we discuss presentation and treatment of a symptomatic talocalcaneal coalition complicated by a later stress fracture as well as a review of the literature.
