Dreher T et al. – The cavovarus foot, the planovalgus foot, and Charcot's foot are some of the most challenging foot deformities, requiring different surgical strategies for their correction. Most of the osteotomies and fusions in children and adults can be fixed with transcutaneous Kirschner wires, which are inexpensive and easy to use and remove. The use of alternative fixation systems such as cannulated screws, compression screws, or angle–stable locking plates depends on patient age, vascular situation, risk for nonunion, and underlying pathology.
