Résumé
Management of the cavus foot is a difficult task for the foot and ankle surgeon. Tendon transfers have been a longstanding accepted treatment for the flexible cavus foot. Performing tendon transfers requires an in-depth understanding of the patient's medical history, factors leading to the development of deformity, as well as the deforming forces contributing to the deformity. Evaluation of the patient for rigid, progressive, and/or spastic deformities is critical to avoid postoperative complications. Educating the patient on postoperative rehabilitation, potential complications, and postoperative expectations is essential to ensure appropriate surgical outcomes.
