Congenital vertical talus was diagnosed in 15 feet of 10 children, and was treated by operative reduction. Forefoot deformity was corrected first, using anterolateral soft-tissue release on 11 feet, and manipulation alone in four feet. After prolonged immobilisation in plaster the affected feet had posterior release at the ankle and elongation of the calcaneal tendon. Clinical and radiographic examination at follow-up 15 months to 21 years later showed that a satisfactory outcome had been achieved in 12 of the 15 feet.
