Twenty-six patients with paralytic pes cavus were managed by early soft tissue correction and tendon transfer. Eighteen had spina bifida, 6 had peroneal muscular atrophy and two had cerebral palsy. The most frequent operations were flexor hallucis longus tenodesis, Girdlestone's flexor to extensor tendon transfer and plantar release. The indications for these procedures are discussed and the results presented, with particular reference to static and dynamic foot pressure studies performed at review. Follow-up averaged 5.2 years. Toe correction was found to be successful in most cases but plantar release failed in 55% of feet, with many progressing to fusion. Many failed feet had presented at an earlier age and it was felt that the initial procedures had delayed the need for bony correction thus minimising growth disturbance.
