  • Title: Spare the Talonavicular Joint! The Role of Isolated Subtalar Joint Fusion in the Treatment of Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity.
    Author: Conti MS, Ellis SJ.
    Journal: Foot Ankle Clin; 2021 Sep; 26(3):591-607. PubMed ID: 34332737.
    Abstract:
    Surgical management of progressive collapsing foot deformity continues to evolve. Previous studies have demonstrated that fusion of the talonavicular joint results in limited hindfoot motion and, therefore, may accelerate adjacent-joint arthrosis. Recent literature has supported using alternative arthrodesis constructs that spare the talonavicular joint, such as naviculocuneiform or isolated subtalar fusions, which may maintain some hindfoot motion through the talonavicular joint yet adequately address a patient's deformity. Concomitant reconstructive procedures may be used in addition to subtalar fusion to address severe deformities. Isolated subtalar fusions may be considered in cases of sinus tarsi or subfibular impingement deformities.
