Foot deformities such as cavovarus, hammer toes, and ankle instability are common in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and can significantly impact mobility, balance, and quality of life.

Foot surgery may be considered when conservative treatments—such as orthotics or physiotherapy—are no longer sufficient. Surgical interventions aim to improve alignment, redistribute pressure, reduce pain, and enhance functional walking ability. Due to the progressive nature of CMT, surgical planning requires careful assessment by experienced multidisciplinary teams.

ECRA emphasizes evidence-based decision-making and patient-centered evaluation when considering surgical options. Surgery is not a universal solution, but in selected cases, it can play a meaningful role in long-term functional improvement.
