Abstract

Congenital Vertical talus is a rare condition present at birth that occurs in 1 in 10000 live births. We present a case series of four patients that we treated by the minimal invasive procedure followed by serial casting. Satisfactory correction, both cosmetic and functional, was achieved in all the cases. These results indicate that minimal invasive surgery followed by serial casting is a good way to correct the deformity in patients presenting early. Often, Vertical Talus patients are corrected by extensive surgical procedures and wire fixations leading to complications and resulting in a stiff and painful foot. We have devised a minimally invasive procedure without any wire fixation for patients presenting early with satisfactory results.

Abstract

Background: The objective of this study was to describe the anatomo-clinical, therapeutic aspect of TT fractures and the results.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted over a period of 5 years (01 January 2018 to 01 January 2023) in the Paediatric Surgery Department of the Teaching Hospital and at theInternational clinic. The epidemiological- clinical, anatomopathological, therapeutic, and the results variables of TT fractures were studied.
Results: Data from 10 cases were included in this study. All patients were male, and their mean age was 14.3 years [range: 11-15 years]. All fractures occurred during sports activities through indirect mechanisms. Fractures occurred on both the left and right sides of the knee. We have compiled fractures of type IB (2 cases), type IIB (03 cases), IIIA (01 case), type IIIB (03 cases), and type IV (01 case). All patients underwent open reduction and osteosynthesis. No complications occurred in any of the patients, and their long-term results were satisfactory.
Conclusion: TT fractures are uncommon in adolescents; however, they are common in sports that involve jumping. The indications for treatment are based on the modified Ogden classification. These fractures have a good prognosis, with full recovery of function and activity after consolidation.
