Imaging of the subtalar joint can be challenging because of its complex planar anatomy. This article reviews the anatomy and common anatomic variants as seen with different imaging techniques. Although radiography remains the initial mode of imaging, computed tomography and MRI are frequently needed to better delineate the joint anatomy and improve the sensitivity and the specificity of detection of joint pathology. A short review of arthrographic techniques and various examples of imaging of common pathology involving this joint are also included.
