Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is also known as hereditary motor sensory neuropathy. Characteristic deformity occurs when the weakened peroneal brevis and anterior tibalis succumb to the stronger posterior tibialis and peroneus longus resulting in a cavovarus foot. Coleman block testing is used to determine whether the deformity is flexible or rigid. An example of a correctable deformity is provided in Illustration A. Once the foot has become rigid and begins developing arthritic changes, triple arthrodesis is indicated. Flexible deformities without arthritic changes may be amenable to tendon transfers and dorsiflexion osteotomy of the first ray. Holmes et al reviews the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of the cavovarus foot in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
