Cracking the code on ‘cavernous malformations’

The term "cavovarus" refers to a foot with an arch that is higher than normal, and that turns in at the heel. This is a deformity that tends to worsen gradually over time. Depending on the age of the patient and the degree of deformity and stiffness, treatment options may range from supportive care with bracing, to surgical treatment for soft tissue releases, tendon transfers, and possibly reshaping or fusion of the bones and joints. #footsurgery #orthopedicsurgery #cavovarusfoot #orthopedicsurg
