A study was carried out on the tarsal bones of blue bull. The tarsus of blue bull consisted of five bones i.e., tibial tarsal (Astragalus), fibular tarsal (Oscalcis), fused central and fourth tarsal (Scaphocuboid), first tarsal (Cunciformparvum) and second and third tarsal fused (Cuseiform magnum).The average height and breadth of tibial tarsal was 6.81±0.01 cm and 3.84±0.01 cm, respectively. The fibular tarsal was the longest, elongated bone of the tarsus and flattened from side to side with an average height and breadth 12.00±0.01 cm and 3.72±0.01 cm, respectively. The central and the fourth tarsalswere fused together to form a large single bone. The average height and breadth for central and fourth fused tarsal was 2.54±0.01 cm and 5.11±0.01 cm, respectively. The first tarsal was a quadrilateral piece of bone placed at the postero-internal part of the tarsus. The length and maximum breadth of first tarsal was 2.14±0.01 cm and 3.32±0.01 cm, respectively. The second and third fused tarsal was a small plate of bone having length and breadth of second and third fused tarsal 1.68±0.01 cm and 3.34±0.01 cm, respectively.

Abstract Background Loss of function or gain of function variants of Filamin B (FLNB) cause recessive or dominant skeletal disorders respectively. Spondylocarpotarsal synostosis syndrome (SCT) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by short stature, fused vertebrae and fusion of carpal and tarsal bones. We present a novel FLNB homozygous pathogenic variant and present a carrier of the variant with short height. Case presentation We describe a family with five patients affected with skeletal malformations, short stature and vertebral deformities. Exome sequencing revealed a novel homozygous frameshift variant c.2911dupG p.(Ala971GlyfsTer122) in FLNB, segregating with the phenotype in the family. The variant was absent in public databases and 100 ethnically matched control chromosomes. One of the heterozygous carriers of the variant had short stature. Conclusion Our report expands the genetic spectrum of FLNB pathogenic variants. It also indicates a need to assess the heights of other carriers of FLNB recessive variants to explore a possible role in idiopathic short stature.

Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the bone rotation of each joint in the hindfoot and compare the load response in healthy feet with that in flatfeet by analyzing the reconstructive three-dimensional (3D) CT image data during weightbearing. Methods: CT scans of 21 healthy feet and 21 feet with flatfoot deformity were taken in non-load condition followed by full-body weightbearing load condition. The images of the hindfoot bones were reconstructed into 3D models. The volume merge method in three planes was used to calculate the position of the talus relative to the tibia in the tibiotalar joint, the navicular relative to the talus in talonavicular joint, and the calcaneus relative to the talus in the talocalcaneal joint. Results: The talar position difference to the load response relative to the tibia in the tibiotalar joint in a flatfoot was 1.7 degrees more plantarflexed in comparison to that in a healthy foot ( p = 0.031). The navicular position difference to the load response relative to the talus in the talonavicular joint was 2.3 degrees more everted ( p = 0.0034). The calcaneal position difference to the load response relative to the talus in the talocalcaneal joint was 1.1 degrees more dorsiflexed ( p = 0.0060) and 1.7 degrees more everted ( p = 0.0018). Conclusion: Referring to previous cadaver study, regarding not only the cadaveric foot, but also the live foot, joint instability occurred in the hindfoot with load in patients with flatfoot. Clinical Relevance: The method used in this study might be applied to clinical analysis of foot diseases such as the staging of flatfoot and to biomechanical analysis to evaluate the effects of foot surgery in the future.

Tarsal coalition is an abnormal connection between tarsal bones, caused by an embryogenic failure. Its most common forms are calcaneonavicular and talocalcaneal coalition, which are present in 53% and 37% of the cases, respectively. The onset of symptoms is related to tarsal bone ossification, and mean age for this event is estimated at 16 years for calcaneonavicular coalition. Surgical treatment is indicated for patients who did not improve symptoms with conservative treatment. The aim of this study is to present a surgical technique as a treatment option for resection of calcaneonavicular coalition associated with abnormal cuboid-navicular joint.

Congenital Talipes Equino Varus is one of the most common congenital deformity which occurs in 1/1000 live birth worldwide. Regarding management of this clubfoot ,most orthopaedic surgeons agree that approach management of children with congenital talipes equino varus deformity of foot should begin with conservative measures i.e, manipulation and serial casting in position of correction. One or more surgical procedures are often required in patients who had incomplete correction , recurrent deformity , syndromic correction and after repeated manipulation and casts. Recurrence is a common problem following the club foot surgery one of the reason for recurrence can be redisplacement of tarsal bones .This study aims to compare prospectively the functional and cosmetic outcome of two groups of club foot-one in whom tarsal joint were fixed with k-wires after doing posteromedial soft tissue release and one in whom tarsal joint were not fixed after soft tissue release .To know the incidence of congenital talipes equino varus with respect to age and sex predilection over a period of two years which were admitted between October 2017 to October 2019, 28 idiopathic club foot in 20 children range from 4 months to 3 years were treated out of 20 cases 12 were males,8 were females.8 patients had bilateral deformity out of 12 unilateral deformities 8 were on right side and 4 were on the left side. Male and female ratio 1.5:1 and unilateral to bilateral 1.5 :1.In 12 feet turco's posteromedial soft tissue release and internal fixation of tarsal joints with k-wires was done in 16 feet only turco's posteromedial soft tissue release was done. The period of follow up ranges from 6 months to 2 years

This study aimed to document the detailed features of the hind limb bones in chinchillas (Chinchilla lanigera). Twenty chinchillas (10 females and 10 males) were used. Animals were euthanized and X-ray of appendicular skeleton of pelvis was taken immediately. Then the bones were macerated. The iliac wing was considerably long and the gluteal line formed a distinct crista. The sacropelvic surface (facies sacropelvina) was not observed, however, the iliac tuberosity (tuberositas iliaca) was evident. While the average distance between the midacetabulum and the tuber coxae (ventral iliac spine) was 33.58 mm in males and 31.34 mm in females, the average distance between the midacetabulum and the ischial tuberosity was 15.09 mm in males and 17.18 mm in females (statistically non-significant). The caput ossis femoris was bent to medial at an average of 60 degrees angle. The differences in both the width and length of the obturator foramen between males and females were statistically significant (p < 0.05). The third trochanter (trochanter tertius) and the supracondyloid fossa were absent. The tibia and the fibula formed a joint on the proximal and distal parts. The comparative size of the distal tarsal bones were IV > III > I > II (from the largest to the smallest) and the fifth metatarsal bone shaped a small bone. The comparative lengths of the other metatarsal bones were II > III > I > IV (from the longest to the shortest). Three phalanges bones were notable. The proximal phalanx was the biggest of all.
