In the world of orthopedic diagnostics, imaging plays a crucial role in identifying deformities and planning surgical interventions. Conventional radiographs and MRIs have been the standard, but they come with limitations when it comes to understanding the complex, three-dimensional structure…
At the International Weight Bearing CT Society (WBCT) session during the 2024 European Foot & Ankle Society congress in Brussels, Andy Goldberg, OBE, a foot and ankle orthopedic surgeon at The Wellington Hospital in London, England discussed the rotational alignment…
Key Points: Weight Bearing CT (WBCT) helps visualize several structural and alignment differences between Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity (PCFD) with and without Hallux Valgus (HV). Rotation of the first tarsometatarsal joint, and intrinsic rotation of the first metatarsal bone were…
Key Points: Imaging modalities such as plain radiographs (X-Ray), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), don’t have the diagnostic accuracy needed to detect syndesmotic widening or subtle instability. Weight Bearing CT (WBCT) imaging when combined with a distance…
At the International Weight Bearing CT Society (WBCT) session during the 2024 European Foot & Ankle Society congress in Brussels, Federico Usuelli, MD, a foot and ankle orthopedic surgeon at Humanitas San Pio X in Milan, Italy, discussed the adoption…
