A three-dimensional geometric model of the foot's bony structure based on the use of a stereoradiographic technique is presented. To illustrate the potential of such a model it has been applied here to the study of cavus foot in a patient having Friedreich's ataxia. This model permits an accurate evaluation of this complex spatial foot deformity.
