DIAGNOSTIC SIGNIFICANCE OF RADIOLOGICAL SIGNS OF TARSALIC COALITIONS
Keywords:
tarsal coalition, radiological diagnostics.Abstract
Tarsal coalition is an abnormal fusion of two or more tarsal bones, which can lead to foot deformities, pain syndrome, and damage to the ligaments of the ankle joint. Radiological diagnostics of tarsal coalitions is difficult, since most radiological signs only indirectly indicate its presence. The aim of the study is to determine the diagnostic significance of indirect radiological signs of tarsal coalitions in children.
