The documentation for calcaneonavicular coalition is limited primarily due to its rarity, which affects fewer than a few thousand individuals worldwide. This rarity leads to a lack of systematic clinical studies and comprehensive documentation. Additionally, the absence of identified genes and phenotypic data complicates the characterization of the condition, making it challenging to gather extensive clinical information.
To navigate your care, seek a specialist in orthopedic surgery or a geneticist with experience in skeletal dysplasias, as they can provide tailored management strategies. Although there are currently no patient organizations specifically focused on calcaneonavicular coalition, you can explore resources from the Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center (GARD) at rarediseases.info.nih.gov. Additionally, consider reaching out to genetic counseling services to discuss the implications of the autosomal dominant inheritance pattern for your family. Participating in natural history studies may also provide valuable insights into the condition.
