Abstract:
Tarsal coalition is relatively frequent, with an estimated prevalence of 1-2%. Coalitions are most commonly talocalcaneal or calcaneonavicular, accounting for 90% of cases. While it is well known that bilateral tarsal coalitions can occur in up to 50% of cases, the presence of multiple coalitions in the same foot is less well described. In this report, we present a case of talocalcaneal and calcaneonavicular coalitions occurring in the same foot and briefly review the relevant literature.

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
