Cavovarus or high-arched foot is a common foot deformity that occurs due to the disruption of the foot-driven equilibrium between the first metatarsal, fifth metatarsal, and the heel. This imbalance leads to an increase in the foot's normal plantar concavity. Cavovarus deformity ranges from a mild and flexible malalignment to a fixed, complex, and severe deformation. Subtle cavovarus foot, the mild form of the cavus foot, was first described by Manoli and colleagues.

Cavovarus foot is a complex three-dimensional deformity, which includes a wide range of clinical conditions from subtle deformities to disabling feet. In this article, the authors discuss the role of weight-bearing computed tomography, which might enable to avoid double imaging (radiographs + tomography) in patients for which a detailed osteoarticular assessment is required, with the advantage to obtain tomographic images in standing position and a reduction of radiation exposure.

Pathologic affects from a cavus foot deformity range from flexible subtle to rigid severe deformities and are related to many pathologic conditions of the foot and ankle. Understanding the underlying deformity and the deforming force is essential in treating the cavus ankle and foot. Every deformity is different and unique to a given patient; therefore, surgical plans should be modified to each patient.
