Summary:Congenital tarsal coalition is a fibrous, cartilaginous or osseous union of two or more tarsal bones and its origin is congenital. Recently we treated such 4 cases. Two cases were talo-calcaneal coalition, one was calcaneo-navicular coalition, and one was naviculo-1st cuneiform coalition. Two patients were male and the others were female. All their foot pain appeared in adolescence (10-16 years of age). They all belonged to sports club and their foot pain was caused by vigorous trainings. We treated them conservatively. Now, their foot pain has reduced or disappeared. We should keep this diagnosis in mind when we see the patients who complain of foot pain.
