Four patients with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita were treated in our clinic. There is a very high incidence of recurrence of deformity at the ankle and foot after correction by manuplation, cast and brace. In two cases softtissue release operation was performed, but there was tendecy to relapse later. So talectomy was done in these cases in order to obtain the well aligned and stable joints.It was concluded that talectomy had a useful place in the mangement of severe and rigid equinovarus deformity without recurrece, although follow-up period was short at present.
