Zoe is always keen to innovate and inspire within the profession and loves meeting fellow Podiatrists from across the globe to discuss all things anatomy, pathology, clinical practice and education. With a strong focus on translating clinical evidence into practical MSK decision-making, Zoe is passionate about helping clinicians recognise presentations that can easily be overlooked, mistaken or treated for a more common musculoskeletal condition. Assessment, clinical history taking and knowing your anatomy is the pillar of information we need to start the process!

Tarsal Coalitions! What is really going on and how to manage them in an MSK setting

Zoe will explore the clinical realities of tarsal coalitions, from recognising the key features and understanding relevant imaging to navigating differential diagnosis and deciding what can be managed conservatively, when further investigation is warranted, and when a referral should be considered. The session aims to equip MSK clinicians with practical, clinically applicable strategies they can take straight back into clinic the following day!

Zoe: “Tarsal coalitions aren’t common and as a result are commonly missed! When they do arise, I want to be able to give clinicians a toolbox for recognition, early management and when to refer.”
