A detailed clinical examination is an essential component in the assessment of the cavus foot. A complex interaction of pathologic conditions can only be assessed completely with physical examination. Imaging such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may confound the physician, such as in anterior talofibular ligament tears on MRI while the ankle is stable or arthritic joints that are asymptomatic but abnormal on imaging. At the end of the day, the physical examination supersedes all other investigations. After investigations have been performed, the patient needs to be reviewed and the results interpreted in light of the clinical findings. At this point the examiner will be able to determine what is significant and decide on an appropriate treatment plan.
详细的临床检查是评估高弓足的重要组成部分。只有通过体格检查才能全面评估病理状况的复杂相互作用。诸如计算机断层扫描或磁共振成像（MRI）等影像学检查可能会使医生感到困惑，例如在MRI上显示距腓前韧带撕裂，但踝关节稳定，或者关节在影像学上异常但无症状。归根结底，体格检查比所有其他检查都更重要。在进行检查后，需要对患者进行复查，并根据临床发现对结果进行解读。此时，检查者将能够确定哪些是重要的，并决定合适的治疗方案。
