Abstract: Tarsal coalition is a developmental alteration that consists of the fusion of 2 or more bones of the middle or hindfoot, which can be congenital or acquired. It occurs in 5% of the population, the most common is the calcaneus-navicular, followed by the astragalus-calcaneum and the most uncommon is the scaphoid-cuneiform, which is described as “rare”. To make this diagnosis, it is essential to perform imaging studies such as CT and/or MRI. In this article we present a case of scaphocunean tarsal bar of the synostosis type in an adolescent athlete patient who was treated non-surgically with satisfactory results and return to sports activity.
