The Stieda process of the talus: the anatomical knowledge and clinical significance of an overlooked protrusion

Abstract

It was determined that a total of 3802 items existed. Following the elimination of the redundant articles, the total number of unique entries that remained was 1592. However, according to the second search criteria, it was found that 37 publications were pertinent to our topic. There were a total of 24 publications that were included in the research that discussed the “Stieda process” of the talus or “Stieda's process.” The number of articles that were written on the “Stieda process” or “Stieda's process” but were not included in the research was 66. This review article consists of a total of 34 articles, excluding any letters to the editor, comments, or proceedings that may have been included. Previous investigations into the patient profile, diagnosis, symptoms, therapy, and clinical importance of SP are outlined in Table 1, which provides a summary of those studies.
