title: Pathogenesis of pes cavus in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
abstract: Of 22 persons from a single kinship of known Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, 12 were found to be affected. All 12 had a pes cavus deformity. The insidious atrophy of the intrinsic musculature of the foot progressed to a fixed soft tissue and bony cavus deformity.
