Congenital vertical talus foot is a complex deformity, characterized by a dislocation of the talus-calcanear navicular joint. It is a rare form of congenital flat foot, where the hindfoot is valgus and equine, the midfoot dorsiflexed and the forefoot abducted. Regardless of the type of classification, the therapeutic approach and prognosis must take into account the functionality and motility of the foot. Initial treatment is manipulative. After 3 months of age, it is possible to think about soft tissue surgery. In this study, we present congenital vertical talus feet treated at the Pediatric Orthopedics Department of SS. Antonio Biagio and Cesare Arrigo Children’s Hospital of Alessandria from 1995 to 2022. All 8 patients (12 feet) underwent through the surgical operation technique of open reduction described by Tachdjian and further reviewed and subjected to the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Ankle-Hindfoot Score. The mean follow up is 13 years. Global functional result was good and surgery allowed the growth of the foot, which would otherwise be blocked by an ax that is the vertical talus. Questioned remotely, all patients perform sporting activities and wear normal footwear.

The worst type of hip developmental dysplasia, known as congenital hip dislocation (CHD), is characterized by acetabular cavity, proximal femoral segment, and ligamentus capsule apparatus dysmorphisms that result in partial or total loss of the hip joint’s relationship. We provide the following example: Hip dislocation has been diagnosed in a male infant 2 months old. The patient underwent progressive abduction followed by longitudinal skin traction using the Morel technique. After performing an artrography on the hip while under general anesthesia, which revealed a reducible and stable hip, we continued with spica cast immobilization in a human position. To promote proper joint development, improve standing posture, enhance gait, and correct pelvic and spinal imbalances, the treatment aims to reduce joint dislocation and rebuild joint relationships. To gradually clean the structures and lower the risk of distant avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head development, slow and gradual traction is applied to Morel’s bed.
