Talectomy for the Treatment of Rigid Nonidiopathic Clubfoot Deformity: Long-term Follow-up by Pedro Poggiali, MD, Jared M. May, BS, Jill E. Larson, MD, Luciano S. Dias, MD

“…Finally, a higher FMS was a predictor of success, suggesting that this procedure should be performed in ambulatory patients. Key Concepts: (1) Talectomy remains a rare procedure, utilized in only 5.6% of clubfoot cases of patients with myelomeningocele or arthrogryposis. (2) “Good” results, defined as a plantigrade, stable, and braceable foot was achieved in 77.4% of patients. (3) Older age at time of talectomy was associated with improved results. (4) A Functional Mobility Scale (FMS) of 3-1-1 or higher was associated with good outcomes and thus may be a predictor of success. …”
