They alter the mechanics of the subtalar joint, limiting inversion and eversion, and place excessive stress on neighboring joints causing pain, recurrent ankle sprains, and\/or progressive pes planus during the adolescent growth spurt.<\/jats:p>\n                      <\/jats:list-item>\n                      <jats:list-item>\n                        <jats:p>\u00bb While many coalitions are identified on radiographs, advanced imaging with computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging is sometimes required. These advanced imaging modalities also serve an essential role for surgical planning to quantify coalition involvement, identify fibrous or cartilaginous coalitions, and aid in determining the degree of deformity within the foot.<\/jats:p>\n                      <\/jats:list-item>\n                      <jats:list-item>\n                        <jats:p>\u00bb Surgical treatment is reserved for feet with persistent activity-related pain not relieved by prolonged attempts at nonoperative management, which include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, shoe orthotics, and periods of non\u2013weight-bearing in a cast. These conservative modalities may be successful in up to 85% of cases.<\/jats:p>\n                      <\/jats:list-item>\n                      <jats:list-item>\n                        <jats:p>\u00bb For adolescent patients, recent surgical options attempt to avoid arthrodesis and focus on coalition resection and interposition grafting with or without deformity correction. The ultimate decision is based on the location of the pain, the size and histology of the coalition, the health of the posterior subtalar facet, the degree of flatfoot deformity, and the presence of degenerative changes in the subtalar and\/or adjacent joints.<\/jats:p>\n                      <\/jats:list-item>\n                      <jats:list-item>\n                        <jats:p>\u00bb While many studies focus on subtalar motion and gait kinematics, the critical outcomes remain pain relief and future need for arthrodesis, which may be related not only to resection of the coalition but
