PES TALUS (PES TALO-VALGUS)

It is considered a minor deformity, the ones we called positional (bad postures). The baby presents a bending foot in a dorsal´s direction.

• In the majority of the cases they get cured alone, without doing anything.

• When the foot is less flexible we recommend to make manipulations in the sole’s direction, three times a day.

• The most severe cases we treat them with a small splint (an orthopaedics device) during two months.

It is necessary not to confuse this deformity with a very severe congenital malformation called “congenital flat foot vertical talus”. The external appearance is similar, but the foot is absolutely rigid. For this case, surgery is the only solution.
