Popis: Bony alignment is the primary goal in foot and ankle reconstruction of the cavovarus foot. This condition presents as a malalignment causing a medial overload of the ankle articular surface and lateral overload of the hindfoot, midfoot, and forefoot. A painful gait associated with articular degeneration of the numerous joints can lead to a chronic and rigid arthrosis of joints, warranting arthrodesis of the affected joints accordingly.
