Ultrasound:: a helpful technique in the analysis of congenital vertical talus.: A case report

Congenital vertical talus is a rare condition. In newborns, the diagnosis is evident in severe forms, but it can be difficult to confirm in mild ones. Non-ossified tarsal navicular cannot be visualized on standard roentgen-ograms until it is ossified. This work demonstrates that ultrasound is helpful in the early diagnosis of congenital vertical talus and in the evaluation of the therapeutic concept and effects.
