520 3 |a Introduction: Salvage Talectomy is a considered treatment for rigid equinocavovarus foot deformity that has different surgical techniques. Case: This study reports on a 16-year-old girl with global developmental delay and bilateral rigid equinocavovarus feet. Underwent bilateral staged limb salvage talectomy. Discussion: Surgical technique in talectomy being crucial as a means of avoiding remnants of the talus or cartilage. Surgical steps necessary for removing the talus as one piece and avoiding a piecemeal talectomy. Conclusion: A principal reason for the failure or relapse of a talectomy is incomplete excision of the talus, resulting in a recurrence on the left side because of the retained talus. However, in this case study, this was successfully avoided by means of a technically revised talectomy. © 2022
