This article presents a case study of a 4-year-old female with a delayed diagnosis
of congenital convex pes valgus. The severe soft-tissue contractures and osseous abnormalities
in this case necessitated excision of the navicular and subtalar arthroereisis in
addition to standard soft-tissue releases in order to achieve and maintain adequate
reduction. A review of the literature and a discussion of these adjunctive techniques
is provided to examine the concepts relevant to treatment of this condition.
