What is a talonavicular joint?
Talonavicular joint is one of the joints that make up the ankle, allowing to articulate the leg and lower leg. Three separate joints on the back leg include what people consider ankle joint; Orthopedically speaking, the "ankle" is technically the first of these joints, located at the intersection between the bone, fibula and talus. The talonavicular joint is the lowest of the three ankle joints that extend to the center. This joint is adjacent to two other structures, Calcaneocuboid and subtalar joints. Together they provide stability over the middle leg and allow the leg and ankle to bend while walking and other physical activities. A series of small articulations in the ankle and leg makes it one of the most complex areas of the skeleton, along with hands.eone has a history of athleticism or hard physical work. Arthritis may initially manifest as a sense of pain, pain and tenderness in reserve. The patient may notice that the area around the talonavicular joint feels hot and the surrounding tissue can swell, whichcan cause unpleasant shoes. It is also possible to break this leg area by injuries or serious falls.
treatment of talonavicular joint disorders usually begins with physical examination and X -ray. The doctor can order further display, such as a study of MRI if there are concerns about hairline fractures or other injuries that may be difficult to detect on the X -ray. X -ray can show a break or symptoms of inflammation. In severe arthritis, inflammation can cause bone spurs to develop ankle bones, and this may impair pain and pain.
Conservative treatment may include anti -inflammatory drugs, rest, compression and hot or cold compression. If these measures do not work, the physician may recommend the orthosis or a hip to stabilize the joint and give him a chance to recover. Surgery may be necessary for serious talonavicular surgery injuries. A surgeon may attach if necessaryAt the bones of the joint, except for cutting any bone spots. A minimally invasive procedure can be performed through small cuts around the ankle joint to reduce the risk of complications and speed up the patient healing time.
