Summarycolon;Sinus tarsi syndrome has been described as pain over the sinus tarsi, perceived hindfoot instability, and pain relief after injection of local anesthetics. This syndrome is really a diagnosis of exclusion. A more appropriate term is sinus tarsi dysfunction. Patients have the same symptoms, but it can be attributed to one of many differential diagnoses that include fractures, ligament injuries, and coalitions. Interosseous ligament tears are the most common cause of sinus tarsi dysfunction. With the advancement of imaging techniques, small joint arthroscopy, and clinical experience, an exact diagnosis can be made and appropriated treatment can be implemented.
