[Indexed for MEDLINE] 20. Instr Course Lect. 2020;69:381-390. Assessment and Management of the Pediatric Cavovarus Foot. Bouchard M. The cavovarus foot is challenging to treat. The deformity is typically progressive with an unpredictable natural history. There are concurrent deformities in the fore-, mid-, and hindfoot: the medial arch is elevated, the first ray is plantarflexed, and the heel is in varus. Muscle imbalance and joint contractures are common. Successful correction requires confirmation of the underlying diagnosis and the application of principles to select the appropriate surgical procedures.
