Cavovarus or high-arched foot is a common foot deformity that occurs due to the disruption of the foot-driven equilibrium between the first metatarsal, fifth metatarsal, and the heel. This imbalance leads to an increase in the foot's normal plantar concavity. Cavovarus deformity ranges from a mild and flexible malalignment to a fixed, complex, and severe deformation. Subtle cavovarus foot, the mild form of the cavus foot, was first described by Manoli and colleagues. Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. DOI: 10.1016/j.fcl.2023.05.010
