Video Summary

In this video, Shuyan Li discusses their research on tarsal coalition and midfoot and handfoot alignment features. The study aimed to review weight-bearing CT scans to identify clinically diagnosed and missed cases of tarsal coalition, as well as determine the height-foot alignment and arch height features of each case. They reviewed 800 scans and found 41 feet with radiographic tarsal coalition. Among these cases, 15 were clinically diagnosed, while 26 were missed. The study also identified various clinical diagnoses in these cases. The researchers conclude that tarsal coalition can present with different foot alignment features and may be overlooked in certain clinical situations.
