How is Vertical Talus prevented?
Since vertical talus is a condition that occurs right since birth, there isn’t really anything that can be done to prevent it. However, the condition can be prevented from getting worse. If the condition is diagnosed at an early stage it must be treated immediately. Simple methods like gentle stretching can help fix the deformity and get the talus bone in the right position.
What is the treatment for Vertical Talus?
Listed below are the treatment measures used in curing the condition:
- Physical Therapy: Physical therapy involving stretching and exercises may increase flexibility of the foot.
- Casting: Casts are used to hold the foot in the right position and correct the deformity.
- Surgery: If the condition does not respond to non-surgical treatments then surgery will be needed to fix the deformity.
