Ball
and Socket Ankle joints are a simple deformity to diagnose if and only if ankle xrays are taken. Too often foot xrays
are taken because these patients present often with severe flatfeet and/or gross instability. Many of these children and teenagers have not just one coalition but multiple which is why the ankle
is forced to adapt leading the rounded ankle joint.

Despite only having four metatarsals, the patient was
referred for uncontrolled flatfeet

I guess an MBA implant won't help

Only four metatarsals, you would think
they wouldn't pass an Army physical
