ResumoSubtalar joint anatomy is complex and can vary significantly between individuals. Movement is affected by several adjacent joints, ligaments and periarticular tendons. The subtalar joint has gained interest from foot and ankle surgeons in recent years, but its importance in hindfoot disorders is still under debate. The purpose of this article is to give a general overview of the anatomy, biomechanics and radiographic assessment of the subtalar joint. The influence of the subtalar joint on the evolution of ankle joint osteoarthritis is additionally discussed. Cite this article: EFORT Open Rev 2017;2:309-316. DOI: 10.1302/2058-5241.2.160050
