Overview Cavus foot is a condition in which the foot has an arch that is much higher than normal. As a result of this high arch, a large amount of weight is placed on the ball and heel of the foot when children walk or stand. Their feet become sore at the top and middle, and they have trouble finding shoes that fit properly. In addition, the high arches cause children?s ankles to roll outward slightly. This instability can lead to frequent ankle sprains. Causes There are many causes for a high arch foot, known as cavus. In the United States, the most common cause for a high arch foot is a form of muscular dystrophy called hereditary sensorimotor neuropathy, more commonly known as Charcot Marie Tooth disease (CMT). Symptoms If you are standing, the instep looks hollow and most of the weight is on the back and balls of the foot (metatarsals head). Your high arches can be either rigid (the arch does not move to a lower height) or flexible, (the arch can move to a lower height) If you are sitting on the edge of table with your feet hanging in the air, the front half of the foot (forefoot) will appear to be dropped below the level of the heel. Your foot may be in a supinated position (feet will roll outwards or the heel will tilt inwards from behind) Diagnosis Diagnosis of cavus foot includes a review of the patient?s family history. The foot and ankle surgeon examines the foot, looking for a high arch and possible calluses, hammertoes, and claw toes. The foot is tested for muscle strength, and the patient?s walking pattern and coordination are observed. If a neurologic condition appears to be present, the entire limb may be examined. The surgeon may also study the pattern of wear on the patient's shoes. X-rays are sometimes ordered to further assess the condition. In addition, the surgeon may refer the patient to a neurologist for a complete neurologic evaluation. Non Surgical Treatment Treatment of high arches really depends a great deal on what?s causing them. If it?s not likely the condition will worsen with time, usually the case when the cause is NOT neurological, then more conservative treatments may be effective, enabling you to live without significant pain. Surgical Treatment Most people with cavus feet do not need operations. However, if your cavus feet cause a lot of pain, rub badly on your shoes so that the skin breaks down, or your foot or ankle are very unstable, and simple treatment has not helped, it may be worth considering an operation to straighten your foot. Your GP can refer you to an [http://soggyrat17920.Livejournal.com/900.html orthopaedic foot] and ankle surgeon to advise you about surgery.

Claw feet are relatively inflexible. This will often be associated with very tight calf muscles at the back of the lower leg. Pes Cavus of the foot can cause pain in the feet during walking, toes may be bent and cannot be be straightened easily without causing pain.<br><br>Causes<br>Cavus foot commonly occurs as a result of an underlying medical or neurological condition, such as polio, muscular dystrophy or cerebral palsy. Cavus foot may also occur as a result of congenital defects. They may be inherited from a parent, or they may result from an orthopedic condition or a disease of the nerves or muscles.<br><br>Symptoms<br>indications of the presence of pes cavus include the nature of the symptoms presented, such as metatarsalgia-type pain and callusing under the ball of the foot, pain along the lateral column of the foot, lateral ankle instability and recurrent inversion sprains, plantar fasciitis, and stress fractures of the lesser metatarsals.<br><br>Diagnosis<br>If a neurological condition is suspected to shop online be at the heart of your problem, your podiatrist will probably examine your leg as well as your foot, and may also refer you to a neurologist, who is specially trained in recognizing such conditions.<br><br>Non Surgical Treatment<br>Non-surgical treatment is instituted early and is chiefly delivered by podiatrists and orthotists, preferably working alongside doctors in a foot and ankle clinic. Orthotic treatment can broadly be separated into four types, pressure relief, correction of deformity, accommodation of deformity, and splinting. Chiropodists and podiatrists can provide simple devices, but more involved orthoses are made by an orthotist. A simple cushioning orthosis alone may help symptoms from pressure overload. Pressure on the metatarsal heads is alleviated by a total contact orthosis that widens the contact area. One randomised controlled trial has compared custom-molded, semi-rigid orthoses with soft, sham inserts. The custom inserts caused a clinically and statistically significant reduction in foot pain scores and peak plantar pressure at three months, and a significant increase in quality of life measures.<br><br>Surgical Treatment<br>The aims of surgery are threefold. To correct deformity, thereby placing a balanced, stable, plantigrade foot on the ground with even plantar pressures between heel, first ray and fifth ray. To relieve pain due to overloaded or arthritic joints, while preserving joint motion where possible. To re-balance muscle forces, aiding in gait and preventing progression or recurrence of deformity. In principle, these aims are achieved by means of Joint releases and tendon lengthening. Tendon transfers, taking over-powerful, mechanically advantaged tendons and transferring them to weaker, disadvantaged tendons. Osteotomies, dividing and re-aligning bones, and stabilising with plaster or internal fixation. Arthrodeses, fusing stiff, painful joints.
