A condition that causes one or both feet to have arches that are higher than normal and heels that are turned inward, cavovarus foot can make walking, running or even standing still difficult.
Many children with cavovarus foot put extra pressure on the outer side of the foot – leading to pain, frequent ankle sprains and sometimes fractures.
Cavovarus foot looks different for every child, but our orthopedic specialists are always ready to create a treatment plan that works best for your family. We'll start by performing a careful physical exam – and taking X-rays if needed – to determine how severe your child's condition is. Sometimes, we'll take an MRI (a non-invasive imaging test) of the spine to find out whether or not your child has an underlying condition causing their foot deformity.
Specific treatments and services may vary by location. Please contact a specific location for more information.
