Combined calcaneal and metatarsal osteotomies for the treatment of cavus foot.

Cavovarus foot can be painful and disabling owing to deformity and instability. A method of surgical correction is presented with osteotomies of the forefoot and the hindfoot. The technique avoids arthrodesis while preserving joint motion, lowering the height of the arch, and correcting varus and adductus deformity. Increased ankle stability, elimination of the risk of stress fracture, decreased pain are expected outcomes.
