Disease relevance of Subtalar Joint

• Ten posterior subtalar joints of 8 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and 12 posterior subtalar joints of 6 cadavers were studied by contrast synoviography [1].

High impact information on Subtalar Joint

• We are performing direct, coronally oriented computed tomographic (CT) scans of the subtalar joint in patients with rheumatoid arthritis [2].
• Communication of the FHL sheath with the ankle, flexor digitorum longus, or subtalar joint occurred in half the cases [3].
• The motions of the talocrural joint, the talocalcaneal joint, and the gross motion between the foot and the shank were analyzed [4].
• RESULTS: The kinematic coupling characteristics and the respective contribution of the ankle joint and the subtalar joint to the gross motion of the foot with respect to the shank were analyzed based on dual Euler angle parameters [5].
• The relative subtalar joint and talocural joint angles at touchdown were varied, and each subject-specific simulation was exposed to a set of perturbed floor conditions [6].

Anatomical context of Subtalar Joint

• Ten consecutive patients (fourteen feet) who had a painful coalition of the middle facet of the talocalcaneal joint with restricted motion of that joint were managed with a resection of the coalition and interposition of a split flexor hallucis longus tendon in 1992, 1993, or 1994 [7].
• On the coronal views, tilting of the talus at the ankle and subtalar joints was assessed [8].
• Fracture of the calcaneus: an unusual fracture pattern with subtalar joint interposition of the flexor hallucis longus. A report of two cases [9].

Associations of Subtalar Joint with chemical compounds

• The coronal plane provides the best view of the facets of the talocalcaneal joint [10].
• The scans showed oblique orientation of four implants (44%), loosening of three implants (33%), extruded methyl methacrylate in the subtalar joint in two implants (22%), and abnormal calcaneal recession in two implants (22%) [11].
• During the first six postoperative weeks, patients (1) performed active movements of the ankle and subtalar joints but did not bear weight; (2) wore a plaster of paris cast without bearing weight; or (3) bore full weight in a plaster cast [12].

Gene context of Subtalar Joint

• The human subtalar joint was modelled as a quasi-linear second-order underdamped system to simulate sudden inversion motion of the foot relative to the shank [13].
• The predicted inclination of the subtalar joint axis from the horizontal plane was 37.4 +/- 2.7 degrees, and the medial deviation was 18.0 +/- 16.2 degrees [14].
• Arthrography of the posterior subtalar joint is an objective parameter, identifying peri- or intraarticular pathology as the cause of symptoms [15].
• Maximum rotations over the complete stance phase for the ankle and subtalar joints respectively were: eversion/inversion, 6.3 degrees and 8.3 degrees; dorsiflexion/plantarflexion, 18.7 degrees and 3.7 degrees; and abduction/adduction, 5.0 degrees and 6.1 degrees [16].
• The rationale that subtalar joint position, reflected by calcaneal alignment, determines foot morphology was used to formulate an approach to examination of the validity of three measures of "foot type": the Staheli Arch Index, the Chippaux-Smirak Index, and navicular height [17].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Subtalar Joint

• The result of various combinations of arthrodesis (n = 54) of the ankle joint, the subtalar joint, and Chopart's joint in 43 patients with rheumatoid arthritis operated on in a 10-year period from 1984 through 1993 are presented [18].
