요족 변형 환자에서의 얕은종아리신경병증: 증례 보고

Abstract

Cavus foot is a deformity marked by an abnormally high medial longitudinal arch, rendering the foot inflexible in severe cases. Inherent defects include pro-nated forefoot, first metatarsal valgus, and hindfoot varus. Hindfoot varus and forefoot valgus produce foot pain and lateral ankle instability. Long-term complications of cavus foot are metatarsalgia, fifth metatarsal stress fracture, plantar fasciitis, and iliotibial band syndrome. 1 In the general population, the prevalence of bilateral cavus foot is 8~15%. 2 This condition is attributable to peripheral polyneuropathies that are inherited (Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease) or acquired, imposed by central nervous system disorders (poliomyelitis) or traumatic injuries. 2,3 However, most cases appear to be idiopathic. 2
