Abstract

Adult cavovarus deformity patients present with rigid cavovarus deformity, where the correction can no longer be obtained using soft tissue procedures alone, and corrective arthrodesis or osteotomy must be performed to realign the deformity. Reconstructive surgeries for cavovarus foot deformities are variable and include hindfoot or midfoot osteotomy or arthrodesis, soft tissue release or lengthening, and tendon transfers. Recently adult cavovarus foot deformities have been more commonly addressed with joint preservation osteotomies and adjunctive soft tissue surgeries and less with triple arthrodesis. Clinical and radiographic outcomes are overall favorable.
