Vertical talus or congenital vertical talus is a rare foot disorder often found at birth. This is a severely flat foot and may affect one or both feet. Giant bone is the small bone of the hind limb, which usually points forward in the horizontal direction, and is located between the tibia of the leg, the lower leg bone, and the heel bone, forming an ankle joint structure. For feet with congenital vertical giant bones, the giant bones point to the ground in a vertical position. The result is a stiff foot without arches, often referred to as a lumbar foot. This problem may occur on its own or as part of a broader syndrome such as arthritis or spinal fracture. There is also a less serious problem, which lies in the middle of the vertical and horizontal forms of the problem. This special type is more flexible and can only appear when carrying weight.

Congenital vertical megaskeletons are usually found at birth, but they can also be found on ultrasound during pregnancy. The evaluation of the foot is often used to express problems and confirm its rigidity. Generally, it doesn’t hurt at the beginning, but if you don’t treat it, your feet will deform and you will have pain when you walk. X-ray can clearly find the abnormal vertical position of giant bone. Many doctors believe that congenital vertical giant bone is a light horseshoe.

Generally speaking, in order to deal with the problem of congenital vertical giant bone, some surgical operations are required. However, orthopedic surgeons may wish to consider using stretching or casting for a period of time to improve foot flexibility and posture. In a few cases, although the necessity of surgery has been completely eliminated, the amount and scope of surgery required have been reduced, making it more likely that the final result of surgery will be better. It is necessary to support in the clinic for many times, and adjust every week to keep the feet in a more accurate position. If the improvement of this method is too little, surgery is likely to be required. The amount of surgery will vary according to the degree of the cast foot and the accuracy of the obstacle. If the foot is stiff and deformed, the surgical treatment is usually completed before the age of 1 year, which requires more extensive treatment. The overall purpose of surgery is to correct the position of the foot bones. To do this, tendons and ligaments are usually stretched to move the bones in the foot. Then pin the bone in place and place it on the bracket. These nails are usually removed after 4 to 6 weeks. Thereafter, it may be necessary to continue the correction with specialization or stents for a certain period of time.
