【 摘 要 】

Category:HindfootIntroduction/Purpose:Adult acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) represents a biomechanical derangement involving the three- dimensional (3D) midfoot and hindfoot osseous complex, and can be challenging to optimally characterize using conventional two- dimensional (2D) plain radiographs. Weightbearing (WB) ConeBeam CT (CBCT) can better demonstrate the deformity of the 3D structures during WB. Therefore, we compared validated AAFD measurements between WB conventional radiographs and WB CBCT images.Methods:In this prospective, IRB approved and HIPAA compliant study, 20 patients (20 feet, 15 right and 5 left) with clinical diagnosis of flexible AAFD were included, 12 males and 8 females, with a mean age of 52.2 years (range, 20 to 88 years of age), and average BMI of 30.35 kg/m2 (range, 19.00 to 46.09 kg/m2). Involved feet underwent standing (WB) anteroposterior (AP) and lateral radiographs, and were also scanned by WB CBCTs. Both imaging modalities were assessed with traditional AAFD measureme...
