Abstract
Cavus foot is usually related to neurologic abnormalities and then requires complete clinical and imaging evaluation. It is important to identify whether the deformity is flexible or rigid, and combine different soft tissue and bony techniques to accomplish the best lasting results. On rigid feet, it is crucial to determine the apex of the deformity to guide the bony procedures indicated for each specific case. Tarsectomies are preferred to arthrodesis in these rigid feet with the aim of achieve a plantigrade foot.
