Non-Osseous Extra-Articular Anterolateral Talocalcaneal Coalition: A Case Report

We report a case of an extra-articular talocalcaneal coalition located anterolateral to the sinus tarsi. As non-osseous coalitions can be difficult to diagnose, physicians should keep this variant in mind in cases of a symptomatic hind foot with apparently equivocal radiological findings.
