A modification of the Hibbs tenosuspension for flexible cavus deformity.

The authors present a modification of the Hibbs tenosuspension for the correction of clawtoes associated with flexible cavus deformity. A release of the plantar fascia is performed along with the procedure. The major advantages offered by this procedure are the ease in which it can be performed, the vector of the extensor digitorum longus tendon at the ankle is not disrupted, and the only osseous work necessary is digital arthroplasty.
