What is Hindfoot Arthritis?
The hindfoot is not a single joint but a combination of three: the subtalar (between the talus and heel bone), the talonavicular, and the calcaneocuboid joints. Together, these allow the foot to 'roll' and adapt to the terrain. When the cartilage in these joints wears away, the bones rub together, causing inflammation and the growth of bone spurs (osteophytes). This process can eventually lead to the foot becoming 'fixed' in a painful, deformed position.
