An examination procedure for cavo-adducto-varus.

This examination is used in cava-adducto-varus feet to determine the primary areas producing the secondary forefoot pathology. Table I is a compilation of the data and shows by means of an asterisk those pathologies possible with an additional primary deformity. The fold face test parts, when indicated in the exact order, are diagnostic. Once the primary areas have been elucidated, the remaining components are secondary, and the prognosis of biochemical and specific surgical treatment can be made. The specific treatment procedures and their rational use will be discussed in a future presentation.
