Tarsal plate

Tarsal plates are special structures that are located on the lower part of our body and are very important for our health. They allow us to move, walk and run easily. In addition, the tarsal plates provide protection to our bones from damage.

Tarsal bone - located on the bottom of the arch of the foot. It forms the base of a person’s big toe and provides elasticity to this part of the feet when walking. In this case we are talking about the talocalcaneal bone. It is very rare. And therefore we can talk about the uniqueness of its existence in this classification of foot pathologies: Talonavicular and cuboid-valgus insufficiency. This pathology usually does not cause discomfort and is expressed only in a visual examination of the limb. Treatment is usually carried out by a traumatologist. But this is only possible in case of significant deformation, and for minor deviations, treatment is not prescribed.

But unfortunately, not everyone knows what a tarsal plate is. Many people have this small cartilage on their feet without even knowing it. It turns out that there are a number of problems associated with the tarsal plate, which include delamination or compression. As a result of these disorders, inflammation of the cartilage occurs, granuloma formation, destruction of cartilage tissue, weakening of the ability to remove water, and disruption of thermoregulation.
