Abstract

Ten children (17 feet) with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and severe, rigid equinovarus deformity underwent talectomy to bring the foot plantigrade. One child had a bilateral talectomy after only one manipulation, whereas the others were operated on an average of three times before talectomy. After a mean follow-up of 13 years, 14 out of 17 feet were satisfactory. We recommend that children with arthrogryposis and severe rigid equinovarus deformity be treated with talectomy before the expected age of walking.
