History
The term pes cavus is Latin for hollow foot and is synonymous with the terms talipes cavus, cavoid foot, high-arched foot, and supinated foot type. Pes cavus is a multiplanar foot deformity characterised by an abnormally high medial longitudinal arch. It also commonly features a varus (inverted) hindfoot, a plantarflexed position of the first metatarsal, an adducted forefoot and dorsal contracture of the toes. Despite numerous anecdotal reports and hypothetical descriptions, very little rigorous scientific data exist on the assessment or treatment of pes cavus.
