“…We also performed an analysis of the various radiographic measures such as the lateral TMTA, CPA, FPA, and PPL. The lateral TMTA and CPA are considered indicators of the foot shape (32). The normal range of the lateral TMTA is À4 to þ4 and an angle >þ4 is an indication of a cavus foot (24).…”

Cavovarus deformity can be classified by the severity of malalignment ranging from a subtle and flexible to a severe and fixed cavovarus deformity of the foot.In the mild cavovarus foot, careful clinical assessment is required to identify the deformity.Weight-bearing radiographs are necessary to indicate the apex of the deformity and quantify the correction required.Surgery is performed when conservative measures fail and various surgical procedures have been described, including a combination of soft-tissue releases, tendon transfers and osteotomies, all with the aim of achieving a plantigrade and balanced foot.Joint-sparing surgery is the best option in flexible cavovarus foot even in Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease (peroneal muscular atrophy).Arthrodesis is indicated in severe rigid cavus foot or in degenerative cases.Cite this article: EFORT Open Rev 2017;2.

“…The risk of injury in sports also depends on the exercise and the player's position [2]. Many risk factors are reported in ankle and feet injuries, including age, gender, the skeletal posture, muscle imbalances, shoe type, level of competition, and the status of plantar arch [3].…”

“…The height increase of the plantar arch is accompanied by an increased risk of lower extremity injuries including inflammation of the plantar fascia, bone injuries such as pressures causing the formation of fracture [3], damages of the outer part such as inflammation of the greater trochanter stock, iliotibial band syndrome, or the lateral ankle sprain sector. It might also lead to increased dry and hard movement of feet, which results in the loss of shock absorbing properties, in comparison with players with the normal structure of the plantar arch [4].…”

Purpose: Some deformities that increase the risk of injury including cavus foot are not correctable yet and can only be limited by prevention and taking care of external causes. The current study aimed at determining if foot type (cavus or normal) resulted in loading differences during badminton fundamental movements, considering the prevalence of cavovarus foot deformity and the important role of the foot in sports -especially the sports that suddenly impose forces with different speeds on foot.Methods: Twenty healthy subjects (10 cases with normal feet and 10 with high arch feet) completed 5 trials in each condition, while in-shoe pressure data were collected at 100 Hz. Peak pressure and mean pressure were analyzed among the subjects in 5 major anatomical regions of the foot using the independent t test in SPSS version 20. Foot type was determined by foot posture index (FPI) (α<0.05). Results:Results showed that plantar loading characteristics were different in individuals with cavovarus foot deformity and the ones with normal feet. During the forward-right lunge, individuals with cavovarus foot deformity demonstrated a decrease in medial midfoot (P=0.001), lateral midfoot (P=0.040), peak pressure, toes mean pressure (P=0.036), and showed increased mean (P=0.800) and peak pressure (P=0.279) in heel region, but the decrease was not statistically significant. During the forward-left lunge, individuals with cavovarus foot deformity demonstrated a decrease in peak (P=0.010) and mean (P=0.010) pressure in midfoot and forefoot. Mean pressure in heel (P=0.608) and mean (P=0.577) and peak (P=0.509) pressure in toes increased, but the decrease was statistically insignificant. Conclusion:The current findings demonstrated that the loading patterns differed between the individuals with cavovarus foot deformity and the ones with normal feet, which could possibly influence injury risk in the population. The results also indicated that suitable footwear should be used in people with foot deformities after determining the type and risk factors for the foot injuries.
