Cavus foot is a complex podiatric deformity that requires precise and in-depth work-up through an objective, physical, and radiographic examination. The goal of surgical treatment is to eliminate pain while establishing a plantigrade foot structure. Triple arthrodesis has proven to be an effective surgical procedure for treatment of moderate to severe rearfoot deformity with or without the presence of rearfoot arthritic changes. The foot and ankle surgeon must always be aware that no two cavus deformity cases are alike, therefore one may require additional surgical procedures including soft tissue balancing, joint-sparing osteotomies, and/or supplementary arthrodesing procedures.
