[Vertical talus].
Authors differentiate four etiological groups of vertical talus. In their material the congenital and symptomatic rocker bottom foot was rarer than the paralytic one. Good result can be expected mainly from the operative treatment. From 69 cases good clinical and radiological result was reached in 58, whereas in 6 cases the treatment had no result. It was their experience that a reduction of the talus and of the navicular bone can be reached by tenotomies and capsulotomies and by these a normal form of the foot can be secured. In the conservation of the operative results the significance of the organized care is stressed.
