Simultaneous correction of congenital vertical talus and talipes equinovarus using the Ponseti method.
Talipes equinovarus (clubfoot) and congenital vertical talus are commonly seen as isolated deformities in the newborn; however, the case that we described in this article entailed a classic talipes equino varus on the left and a calcaneovalgus on the right. Both deformities were successfully corrected with manipulation therapy and, ultimately, surgical release of the tendoAchillis.
