Talonavicular coalition, a congenital foot anomaly, is often asymptomatic. However, this study found that it can cause chronic foot pain requiring treatment in affected individuals.

Area of Science:

Orthopedics
Medical Genetics

Background:

Talonavicular coalition is typically described as an asymptomatic congenital anomaly.
It is frequently associated with other genetic conditions like symphalangism and clinodactyly.

Observation:

This report details three patients with five affected feet exhibiting talonavicular coalition.
Unlike previous reports, all patients presented with chronic foot pain unrelated to trauma.

Findings:

All five feet with talonavicular coalition required medical intervention to manage pain.
This suggests that talonavicular coalition can be a symptomatic condition.

Implications:

Talonavicular coalition should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic foot pain, even in the absence of trauma.

Further research is warranted to understand the symptomatic presentation of this anomaly.
