A member asked:
What surgical procedures can correct or slow continued deformity of cavus foot caused 3 months ago from compartment syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: It is probably too early at this point, just three months out because there is still the potential to improve or worsen from your condition. Once the deformity is stable, however, the surgery type depends in part on the flexibility of the deformity; with soft tissue procedures for flexible deformities and bone surgeries for rigid deformities. You would want to be using an orthotic/ brace now.
