title: Osteomyelitis of the tarsal bones in children.
abstract: The radiographic findings in seven children with tarsal osteomyelitis are described. The bones involved were the calcaneus, talus, cuboid, and navicular. The lesions appeared as single, subchondral, reasonably well-defined round lucencies measuring up to 12 mm in diameter. Bone scans were positive. The lesions healed slowly with surrounding sclerosis but no periosteal reaction.
