  • Title: Talocalcaneal luxation: An anatomic and clinical study.
    Author: Gorse MJ, Purinton PT, Penwick RC, Aron DN, Roberts RE.
    Journal: Vet Surg; 1990; 19(6):429-34. PubMed ID: 2264280.
    Abstract:
    Talocalcaneal luxation in dogs was studied by anatomic dissection of the talocalcaneal joint in cadavers and review of five clinical cases. The integrity of the talocalcaneal joint was maintained by two strong ligaments traversing the tarsal sinus between the two bones. The joint was found to be a low motion joint. Luxation in clinical cases was not always apparent on standard radiographic views. Three dogs were treated surgically with a screw inserted in lag fashion from talus to calcaneus. One luxation was treated surgically with figure-of-eight orthopedic wires and one was treated with external coaptation. Four dogs returned to their previous levels of function without clinically detectable lameness.
