Subtalar joint anatomy is complex and can vary significantly between individuals.
-
Movement is affected by several adjacent joints, ligaments and periarticular tendons.
-
The subtalar joint has gained interest from foot and ankle surgeons in recent years, but its importance in hindfoot disorders is still under debate.
-
The purpose of this article is to give a general overview of the anatomy, biomechanics and radiographic assessment of the subtalar joint.
-
The influence of the subtalar joint on the evolution of ankle joint osteoarthritis is additionally discussed.
