Matthew B Dobbs, MD, Perry L Schoenecker, MD, and J Eric Gordon, MD Iowa Orthop J. 2002; 22: 25�27.
Congenital vertical talus (CVT), or "rocker-bottom" foot, describes the most severe form of congenital flatfoot. It is characterized by a rigid dislocation of the talonavicular joint, in which the navicular articulates with the dorsal aspect of the talus...
We describe vertical transmission of isolated CVT in four separate families and confirm that autosomal dominant inheritance should be considered in the differential diagnosis of isolated CVT.

Congenital vertical talus (CVT) is an uncommon disorder of the foot, manifested as a rigid rocker-bottom flatfoot. Its characteristic radiographic feature is a dorsal dislocation of the navicular on the talus. If left untreated, CVT results in a painful and rigid flatfoot with weak push-off power. CVT has been referred to in the literature by several synonyms, including congenital convex pes valgus.
