The Cavus Foot

Surgical management of the cavovarus deformity remains one of the biggest challenges in foot and ankle surgery. The already complex anatomy and biomechanics of the foot and ankle are further obfuscated when a cavovarus deformity develops and worsens over time. Several treatment algorithms, which are more or less complicated tables and diagrams, have been published over the last few decades. However, such “cookbook” solutions should be interpreted carefully; “standard” procedures often need to be modified due to the complexity and uniqueness of each case.
