Abstract
Cavus foot defined as a foot highly arched, is not infrequent in childhood, and is an asymptomatic normal foot variant. However, certain forms of cavus may be related to a neurological lesion and its secondary muscle imbalance and be symptomatic. Because of the multiple causes and different presentation, an understanding of the underlying muscle imbalance in the cavovarus foot is extremely important to guide treatment. One of the most important challenges in treating cavovarus foot is to elucidate the responsible cause for the deformity. The aim of the following review is to point the main causes of cavovarus foot, and to guide the best treatment for the deformity in the skeletaly imature patients.
