What is Managing Cavovarus Feet in Diabetic Patients about?
Cavovarus foot Diabetic peripheral neuropathy Coleman block test Charcot neuroarthropathy ## KEY POINTS Cavovarus foot deformity can be of familial non-neurologic cause or associated with an underlying neurologic condition, the most common being the Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Diabetic motor neuropathy can lead to a cavovarus foot from resultant soft tissue imbalances and contracture of muscle and tendons. In patients with insensate feet, the calluses under the bony prominences break down to ulceration very early in the disease; hence, nonoperative treatment has a high risk of failure. There is paucity of published guidelines on the management of diabetic peripheral neuropathy exacerbated cavovarus feet; hence, three stages of the disease and their treatment strategy are described.
