The topic Rocker-Bottom Foot Deformity you are seeking is a synonym, or alternative name, or is closely related to the medical condition Vertical Talus.

Quick Summary:

The talus bone, also referred to as the anklebone, is part of a group of small bones that are located between the heel bone and the two bones of the lower leg (fibula and tibia)
Vertical Talus is a very rare congenital deformity of the foot that is diagnosed at birth (congenital onset). This deformity is one of the major causes of flatfeet in newborns
Although the most common method to treat Congenital Vertical Talus (CVT) is surgery, a physician may recommend a series of nonsurgical treatment measures. The nonsurgical treatment methods include a combination of stretching and casting, designed to increase flexibility of the foot, and in some cases correct the deformity
If left untreated, Vertical Talus may eventually lead to severe disability and discomfort for the child

Please find comprehensive information on Vertical Talus regarding definition, distribution, risk factors, causes, signs & symptoms, diagnosis, complications, treatment, prevention, prognosis, and additional useful information HERE.
