title: [Study of the morphology of the intrinsic muscles of the pes cavus using x-ray computed tomography].
abstract: From the tomodensitometric examination of 9 cases of hollow foot, the authors present their methodology, reminding the difficulties encountered, and they analyze the results. After a first tomodensitometric study including 16 cases of normal feet, confirming the existence of a suro-achilleo-plantar system by studying correlations between plantar intrinsic muscles and muscles of the posterior compartment of the leg, they establish: the advantage of this method of evaluation of section areas and evaluation of the maximum traction force of the intrinsic muscles of the foot (reproducibility), the disorganization of this anatomo-functional unit in hollow foot syndromes.
