The ankle and foot
Published in Ashley W. Blom, David Warwick, Michael R. Whitehouse, Apley and Solomon’s System of Orthopaedics and Trauma, 2017
This rare condition is seen in infants, usually affecting both feet. Superficially it resembles other types of valgus foot, but the deformity is more severe; the medial arch is not only flat, it is the most prominent part of the sole, producing the appearance of a rocker-bottom foot (Figure 21.11). The hindfoot is in equinus and valgus and the talus points almost vertically towards the sole; the forefoot is abducted, pronated and dorsiflexed, with subluxation or dislocation of the talonavicular joint. Passive correction is impossible.
Congenital vertical talus

Unless a total contact insole is used, it is difficult to find off-the-shelf footwear that relieves the discomfort of walking on a rocker bottom foot. The problem is an issue in late presentations which occur in areas where access to medical care is restricted.

Trisomy 18 (Edward Syndrome) and Trisomy 13 (Patau Syndrome) are also relatively frequently diagnosed in the context of fetal hydrops. Both are multisystem disorders with Edward syndrome characteristically recognized by the ultrasound demonstration of clenched hands and ‘rocker-bottom feet’. Midline defects are prominent in Patau syndrome with holoprosencephaly and cyclopia seen in addition to multisystem abnormalities. Fetal hydrops develops in 14% of fetuses with trisomy 18 and 3% of those with trisomy 13 [102].

At 34 + 1 weeks, the foetus was delivered by caesarean, due to preterm premature rupture of membranes; the woman had a previous caesarean delivery. Birth weight was 1550 g (<third percentile). Apgar scores were 5 and 7 at 1 and 5 min, respectively. A female baby was subsequently delivered with clinical manifestations of clenched hands, rocker-bottom feet, micrognathia, prominent occiput, hypotonia and a ventricular septal defect (Figure 2(A,B)). The infant died of cardiopulmonary failure 8 d after birth.
