Cavus foot surgery. Close-up of bone drilling equipment being used to drill a hole in a metatarsal bone in a patient's foot in a case of cavus foot surgery. This is where the arch of the foot is too high. To correct the deformity, bone pins are inserted and ankle tendons operated on. For a sequence and details of this operation, see C014/7782 to C014/7785 and C014/7789 to C014/7790.
