Osteomyelitis of the tarsal bones in children.
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.
