Resumo

Talectomy is a rescue technique for certain severe deformities, such as equinus varus foot. This procedure can be performed when other less aggressive treatments cannot correct the deformity. We present a case of a 70-year-old patient with a chronic ulcer at the level of the fourth and fifth metatarsophalangeal joints that communicates, through fistulous pathway, the sole of the foot with the dorsum. This ulceration is due to a large deformity in rigid varus equine (secondary to poliomyelitis) that prevents it from walking normally. The patient had rejected a below-knee amputation approach and was offered the option of a talectomy, as an option for reconstructive surgery. The surgical treatment consisted in the removal of the talus along with reduction of the deformity with 2 temporary Steinmann pin, z-plasty of the Achilles tendon, resection of the first metatarsal head by dorsal incision and temporary fixation with Steinmann pins, complete removal of the fifth ray and removal of the second, third and fourth metatarsal heads. Immediate postoperative visits and 3-month and 1-year reviews were performed. One year after the procedure, the patient presented a nonpainful plantigrade gait, showing great improvement without recurrence of plantar ulcers. We found that talectomy could be a viable treatment as part of reconstructive surgery for severe foot and ankle pathology in patients with severe neuropathy and that it could be a viable option before considering a major amputation.
