  • Title: Joint sparing correction of cavovarus feet in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease: what are the limits?
    Author: Barton T, Winson I.
    Journal: Foot Ankle Clin; 2013 Dec; 18(4):673-88. PubMed ID: 24215832.
    Abstract:
    Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is an inherited neuropathy that results in lower limb muscle imbalance and a resultant cavovarus deformity of the foot. With recognized poor outcomes of triple arthrodeses in the young patient, joint sparing surgery is preferred, which takes the form of osteotomies, soft-tissue releases, and tendon transfers to achieve a plantigrade and balanced foot. Due to the variability in muscle involvement and the presence of both mobile and fixed deformities, surgery must be individualized to each patient.
