We postulated that this technique will yield satisfactory radioclinical outcomes and minimal complications because it avoids extensive surgical release\/trauma that is otherwise classically recommended for complex congenital vertical talus. The cohort consisted of 5\u20144 boys and 1 girl\u2014complex congenital vertical talus children with neglected, multiple operated, and\/or recurrent subsets. Patients were included if manipulative casting techniques were deemed unlikely to produce a plantigrade foot. Patients underwent naviculectomy with variable on-demand limited soft-tissue releases. Two patients had bilateral affection and 2 had a nonidiopathic cause. The mean age was 5.2 years (4-6.25) and mean follow-up was 2.3 years (1-3). We reported satisfactory outcomes as per foot posture, function, overall parent satisfaction including pain and radiography per lateral views of talar-axis-first metatarsal base angle on the short\/intermediate term. Whereas manipulative casting is unlikely to yield lasting outcomes in ambulatory children with complex subsets of congenital vertical talus, extensive surgical soft-tissue releases have unfavorable long-term complications. As a substitute, naviculectomy as a form of resection arthroplasty created a practical and affordable third way between manipulative casting with or without minimally invasive surgery and the
