Abstract
Flexible cavovarus feet in children and adolescents can be challenging. A careful history and physical examination are paramount for determining the best treatment strategy and a multitude of options are available. Specific treatment strategies should be individualized and any bony correction must be in conjunction with a muscle balancing procedure. Well-timed soft tissue and occasionally bony procedures can delay the progression of deformity. These patients are monitored long term because further treatment may be required.
