Paediatric and adolescent foot disorders
Published in Maneesh Bhatia, Essentials of Foot and Ankle Surgery, 2021
Tarsal coalition is classically an isolated pathology, but also known to occur in association with other congenital disorders including carpal coalition, fibular hemimelia, symphalangism, phocomelia, clubfoot, arthrogryposis, Apert syndrome, and Nievergelt–Pearlman syndrome. Rarely, tarsal coalitions can be acquired secondary to trauma, degenerative joint diseases like inflammatory arthritis, neoplasia, infection or be iatrogenic (93, 101–105).

Turner syndrome is a chromosomal abnormality occurring only in females. It is associated with cardiovascular anomalies including hypoplastic left heart and aortic coarctation and renal anomalies including ectopia and horseshoe kidney. Radiographs of the hand may show shortened third and fourth metacarpals, Madelung deformity, carpal coalition and narrowing of the scapholunate angle. The other findings listed in the question are not seen in Turner syndrome.

Fusions of the carpal bones are rare anomalies which occur in 1% of the population [1]. Carpal coalition is usually an asymptomatic entity diagnosed by a hand radiograph by chance. Coalitions may occur anywhere in the carpus, but the most common variant occurs between the lunate and triquetral bones followed by the capitate and hamate [2]. Fusion between the pisiform and hamate bones was first described by Cockshott [3]. To date, about ten cases of pisiform and hamate coalition have been reported in English literature. Here we report a case of a painful coalition between the pisiform and hook of the hamate in a teenaged patient.
