Published: June 2005

Pes cavus is a complex deformity with various components. The etiology is multifaceted, which can result in changes to the rearfoot, forefoot, or both areas. Proper patient evaluation is crucial to understanding the deformity and its management. Various soft-tissue and osseous procedures may be used in the reconstruction of the symptomatic cavus foot deformity. This article discusses the clinical and radiographic findings of pes cavus, as well as the various etiologies of this challenging foot deformity and the surgical principles of its correction.

Objective: To describe peripheral neuropathy associated with familial Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

Methods: We report two unrelated patients with genetic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease with demyelinating peripheral neuropathy as initial presentation, with a comprehensive clinical, electrophysiological and neuropathological description.

Results: Both patients exhibited gait disturbance and paresthesia.

Enhanced diagnosis of pes planus and pes cavus using deep learning-based segmentation of weight-bearing lateral foot radiographs: a comparative observer study.

Unlabelled: A weight-bearing lateral radiograph (WBLR) of the foot is a gold standard for diagnosing adult-acquired flatfoot deformity. However, it is difficult to measure the major axis of bones in WBLR without using auxiliary lines. Herein, we develop semantic segmentation with a deep learning model (DLm) on the WBLR of the foot for enhanced diagnosis of pes planus and pes cavus.

Purpose: To characterize radiographic foot/ankle bony abnormalities in elite-level, asymptomatic male basketball athletes and to investigate the association between anthropometric (age, height, weight) or sport-specific characteristics (total exposures, player position, pregame ankle taping) and the prevalence of abnormal radiographic findings in asymptomatic basketball athletes.

Methods: Elite-level basketball players who underwent routine, preseason static radiographic imaging, including anteroposterior, lateral, and mortise views of the ankle were included. Radiographs were collected from asymptomatic athletes participating in preseason history and physical with negative anterior drawer/talar tilt test.

Background: Pes planus (flatfoot) and pes cavus (high arch foot) are common foot deformities, often requiring clinical and radiographic assessment for diagnosis and potential subsequent management. Traditional diagnostic methods, while effective, pose limitations such as cost, radiation exposure, and accessibility, particularly in underserved areas.

Aim: To develop deep learning algorithms that detect and classify such deformities using smartphone cameras.
