Bilateral Congenital Vertical Talus in Association with Beals Contractural Arachnodactyly: A Case Report.

CASE: Congenital vertical talus (CVT) is a rare rigid flatfoot disorder with a rocker-bottom flatfoot appearance. It is characterized by hindfoot valgus and equinus, with associated midfoot dorsiflexion and forefoot abduction. We describe a patient who was born with dysmorphic features and subsequently was diagnosed with Beals contractural arachnodactyly. After the diagnosis of bilateral CVT was made, it was treated with a single-stage open reduction. There was a unilateral recurrence, which was treated with revision surgery. The patient had an excellent functional outcome.

CONCLUSION: CVT often requires surgical management and may recur. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of CVT associated with Beals contractural arachnodactyly.
