Abstract:
Pes cavus is a multiplanar deformity that involves the 3 foot-joint complexes. Description of the deformity is not well standardized and the surgical management does not have a comprehensive algorithm to follow. Treatment should be tailored to the patient's requirements, foot condition, and the potential for future progression of the deformity. This study describes a heterogeneous group of patients treated surgically and followed for 5 to 28 years. The benefits and risks are discussed, together with pitfalls encountered.
