Presentation of Tarsal Coalition Many tarsal coalitions are asymptomatic and never discovered. The presenting age is usually adolescence mostly though presentation in adulthood is also known. [boneandspine.com]
Common clinical presentations include tarsal pain or stiffness, ankle sprains, rigid flatfoot, or peroneal spastic flatfoot (more correctly referred to as peroneal spasm/shortening secondary to heel valgus). 2 Given the variable presentation of tarsal [radsource.us]
It occurs in 5% of the population and although congenital, patients typically present in adolescence. There is a significant male predilection (M:F 4:1) 5. 50% are bilateral (even if symptomatic only on one side). [radiopaedia.org]
On examination there is usually stiffness present in the rear or mid-foot and abnormal biomechanics are usually evident. [find-a-physio.com]

Joint Space Narrowing
Osseous coalitions with clear bony bridging are more easily diagnosed than fibrous or cartilaginous coalitions, which demonstrate varying degrees of joint space narrowing, cortical irregularity and sclerosis. [radsource.us]

Treatment for Tarsal Coalition For those without symptoms, no treatment for tarsal coalition is necessary. [extendorthopedics.com]
Non-surgical treatments Often, non-surgical treatments are effective in treating tarsal coalition. Some of these treatments may include: Anti-inflammatory medications. Cast or boot to immobilize the foot, allowing it time to heal. [gifootclinic.com]
