“…This study has also demonstrated that a large AALTF is found in 2.5% of the specimens [5]. A recent MRI study has found that AALTF is present in 32.7% of patients who have ankle symptoms and in 26% of asymptomatic volunteers [8]. AALTF can be symptomatic and has become increasingly recognized as a source of talocalcaneal impingement [5,9,10].…”

“…Peroneal spasm or contracture may also be noted with passive inversion [9]. MRI and CT were used to identify the accessory anterolateral talar facet in several clinical studies [6][7][8]. Bone marrow edema at the talar or calcaneal side as well as sinus tarsi fat edema is significantly more prevalent in symptomatic patients with AALTF [8].…”

Bone marrow edema at the talar or calcaneal side as well as sinus tarsi fat edema is significantly more prevalent in symptomatic patients with AALTF [8]. It has been shown that, intraoperatively, the accessory facet has an overlying hyaline cartilage layer, often with cartilaginous thinning, fibrillation or defects [4,10].…”

“…It is appropriate to mention the accessory anterolateral talar facet which articulates with the calcaneus and which also has clinical implications. Aydıngöz et al [ 20 ] in their MRI study found this variation was present in 32.7% of patients with ankle pain and in 26% of volunteers without it. Accessory anterolateral talar facet may contribute to painful talocalcaneal impingement in persons with pes planus [ 20 ].…”

Morphometric analysis of the patterns of calcaneal facets for the talus in Serbian population

et al. 2020

Literature describes different patterns of calcaneal facets for the talus in terms of whether some calcaneal facets are connected or separated from each other or completely absent. The aim of this study was to establish the patterns of calcaneal facets for the talus, to calculate their total area, and to analyse the data with respect to gender. The study involved 59 calcanei which were photographed. The patterns of calcaneal facets noted in this study were compared with the patterns from the literature. ImageJ program was used to measure different parameters on calcanei. The pattern 1 was the most commonly found in the study sample (45.76%), then the pattern 2 (40.68%), and finally the pattern 3 (13.56%). That order of frequencies is the same in both sexes. The patterns 1 and 2 have a larger contact surface for the talus in comparison to the pattern 3. Male bones have a larger contact surface for the talus than female bones. The sum of the pattern 1 and pattern 3 frequencies was high. Knowing the frequency of different patterns of calcaneal facets for the talus in a certain population is important for orthopaedic surgeons when performing foot osteotomy.

“…MRI demonstrated abutting bone marrow edema between the talus and calcaneus. [3][4][5][6]15 This was localized to AALTF and the adjacent calcaneus anterior to the posterior facet. CT scans and MRI were useful for diagnosis in the current case.…”

Accessory anterolateral talar facet impingement with tibialis spastic varus foot

In recent years, some authors have reported accessory anterolateral talar facet impingement with flatfoot including peroneal spastic flatfoot. Conversely, to our knowledge, no case report has been published about accessory anterolateral talar facet impingement with tibialis spastic varus foot. We report the first case in a 22-year-old man with intellectual disability, bilateral cleft hands and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Since spraining his left ankle over a year earlier, he experienced left sinus tarsi pain while standing and walking. Physical examination revealed that his left foot was in the varus position with spasm of the anterior tibial muscle, tenderness in the sinus tarsi and lateral hindfoot pain upon attempted passive hindfoot eversion. He could not stand on his left toes. His pain decreased after lying down and receiving a massage on his anterolateral lower leg at night. Radiographs and computed tomography scans revealed the absence of tarsal coalition and the presence of accessory anterolateral talar facet in both feet. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated abutting bone marrow edema between the talus and calcaneus around the accessory anterolateral talar facet. We diagnosed the patient with accessory anterolateral talar facet impingement and tibialis spastic varus foot. After conservative treatment failed, resection of accessory anterolateral talar facet achieved good results with short-term follow-up.
