1. Eight cases of congenital vertical talus in infancy are reported. The principal differential diagnosis at this age is from talipes calcaneo-valgus. 2. The deformity is primarily a dorsal dislocation of the talo-navicular joint. 3. Closed reduction can be achieved if treatment begins at birth. Open reduction is indicated for the deformity uncorrected by the age of three months.
