Clinical Examination and Radiographic Assessment of the Cavus Foot.
Foot and Ankle Clinics 2019 June
The purpose of the clinical examination is to detect subtle cavus or cavovarus deformity, assess the severity and type of deformity, differentiate between idiopathic versus secondary etiologies of cavus foot deformity, and evaluate for other associated abnormalities. The clinical examination should begin with a gait analysis. The neurologic examination reveals peripheral neuropathy or central nervous system etiology for the foot deformity. On plain radiographs, forefoot-driven deformity can be assessed using the Meary angle, and hindfoot-driven deformity can be measured by the calcaneal pitch. Computed tomography and MRI scans can assess for tarsal coalitions and soft tissue pathologies, respectively.
