Article Abstract
In Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) cavovarus surgery, a regimented approach is critical to create a plantigrade foot, restore hindfoot stability, and generate active ankle dorsiflexion. The preoperative motor examination is fundamental to the algorithm, as it is not only guides the initial surgical planning but is key in the decision making that occurs throughout the operation. Surgeons need to be comfortable with multiple techniques to achieve each surgical goal. There is no one operation that works for all patients with CMT. A plantigrade foot is the most important of the surgical goals as hindfoot stability and ankle dorsiflexion can be augmented with bracing.

Background: Congenital talipes equinovarus, also known as clubfoot, is one of the most common deformities of the musculoskeletal system in newborns. Although Kites developed one of the first nonsurgical methods, the Ponseti method is more popular, where counterpressure is applied on the talar head.
Methodology: Two hundred and twelve idiopathic clubfeet were treated (84 bilateral and 44 unilateral) with the Ponseti method of casting; tenotomy was considered when the midfoot Pirani score was 0.
