Objective: The objective of the study was to assess efficacy LapiCotton procedure on patients with hallux valgus (HV) combined medial longitudinal arch collapse. Methods: Preoperative and postoperative weight-bearing computed tomography (WBCT) scans were obtained from HV submitted procedure. Semi-automatic measurements applied 22 WBCT images across 11 enrolled in using a software package (Bonelogic, Disior™, Helsinki, Finland). Significance level set at 0.05. Results: angle (HVA)...
Weightbearing cone-beam computed tomography (WBCT) has proven useful for analysis of structural changes the foot and ankle when compared to conventional radiographs. WBCT allows extraction distance coverage mapping metrics, which may provide novel insight into hallux rigidus (HR). This study retrospectively assessed HR joint space using in a case-control study.
Objective: This cadaveric pilot study was to develop a weight bearing computed tomography (WBCT) three-dimensional (3D) distance mapping algorithm that would allow for detection of syndesmotic instability. Methods: Pilot study, two specimens. Syndesmotic instability induced by release all ligaments through conventional lateral ankle approach. WBCT imaging under simulated acquired before and after destabilization. incisura gutter distances were assessed using 3D algorithm. Results: We found...
Objective: The goal of this paper was to evaluate the validity foot and ankle offset (FAO) measurements in setting severe deformities. Methods: This study included 57 feet (36 patients) that had a history cavovarus deformity. Each participant received weight-bearing computed tomography (WBCT) scan then used measure FAO. measurement performed once using traditional technique two additional times modified allows for rotational correction images align talus. Results: Traditional FAO (TFAO)...
