ABSTRACT
The tarsal coalition corresponds to the abnormal osseous, cartilaginous or fibrous joining between two or more bones in the midfoot or hindfoot. The anteater nose sign is caused by a tubular elongation of the anterior process of the calcaneus that approaches or overlaps the tarsal scaphoid (navicular) and resembles the nose of an anteater on a lateral foot or ankle radiograph.
RESUMEN
La coalición tarsal corresponde a la unión anormal, ya sea ósea, cartilaginosa o fibrosa, entre dos o más huesos del retro o medio pie. El signo de la nariz del oso hormiguero es causada por un alargamiento tubular del proceso anterior del calcáneo que se acerca o se superpone con el escafoides tarsiano y se asemeja a la nariz de un oso hormiguero en una radiografía lateral del pie o tobillo.
