Posterior Subtalar Joint Arthrography A Useful Tool in the Diagnosis of Hindfoot Disorders

Subtalar arthrography in acute injuries of the calcaneofibular ligament

“…Leakage of the contrast medium to the peroneal tendon sheaths from the subtalar joints was regarded as normal by Meyer and Taillard 5 and as pathological by Goossens et al. 19 In our study, the frequencies of leakage of the contrast medium to the peroneal tendon sheaths in combined rupture of the anterior talofibular ligament and the calcaneofibular ligament and in isolated rupture of the anterior talofibular ligament, were significantly different. The absence of the microrecess just along the interosseous ligament, which is seen when this space is filled with blood clot or fibrinous material, 10 was observed more often in patients with ruptured calcaneofibular ligaments than in those without.…”

Accuracy of Posterior Subtalar Joint Injection Without Fluoroscopy

“…As reported previously, the normal arthrographic image of the posterior subtalar joint can be defined as a continuous narrow line of the articular surface, and microrecesses in the sinus tarsi region and communications with the ankle may be normal variants [1]. Communication between the subtalar joint and the peroneal tendons was not observed [1].…”

Communication between the subtalar joint and the peroneal tendons was not observed [1]. Other investigators reported the subtalar joint may be divided into the anterior (sinus tarsi) and posterior subtalar joint and noted a posterior subtalar arthrogram can be helpful to determine the condition of articular cartilage in the joint [13].…”

Ligamentos dos processos talares posterior e lateral: ressonância magnética e artro-ressonância magnética do tornozelo e da articulação subtalar posterior com correlação anatômica e histológica

“…Avaliação artrográfica da articulação talocalcânea tem sido utilizada para se investigar anormalidade congênita, traumática ou articular (Goossens et al, 1989;Cerezal et al, 2005).…”

“…Avaliação artrográfica das articulações talocalcâneas são realizadas para se investigar desordens traumáticas, congênitas e articulares (Goossens et al,1989;Cerezal et al, 2005). O artrograma normal da articulação talocalcaneonavicular mostra um recesso sinovial, estendendo-se numa curva gradual, mostrando-se côncavo posteriormente, no nível do aspecto anterior do tálus, cobrindo o sustentáculo do tálus.…”
