Tarsal coalition is not a rare entity. We report a case of talocalcaneal coalition. A 12 year old boy had been suffering from pain in his right foot for 10 years before his initial appearance. At the age of 11, the pain of his affected leg became more severe, and he consulted a nearby hospital. He was referred to us because of continuous pain of the affected leg. Localized tenderness over the medial subtalar joint could be found in the initial examination. CT scan showed irregularity of the medial side of the subtalar joint and talocalcaneal coalition was diagnosed following the resection of the talocalcaneal coalition.
