title: Hindfoot issues in the treatment of the cavovarus foot.
abstract: Cavovarus foot deformity is a result of a dysbalance of the extrinsic musculature about the foot. Because of the multi-articular bony structure of the foot and ankle, the slightest imbalance of muscular forces causes osteo-articular malalignment and consequent gross deformities. This article discusses hindfoot issues involved in the treatment of cavovarus foot.
