The limitations of routine radiography of the feet in demonstrating tarsal coalitions are well known. Even with the use of multiple projections of the foot, tarsal coalitions may escape detection. ⋯ Results of these examinations suggest the longitudinal projection to be most helpful in demonstrating talonavicular coalitions and the axial projection in demonstrating talocalcaneal coalitions. The history, pathology, and other imaging modalities of tarsal coalitions are reviewed.
