Advantages of WBCT Measurement Parameters in Hallux Valgus

When it comes to hallux valgus (bunion) deformity, weight bearing CT provides significant advantages over conventional radiography.

“Its ability to provide detailed 3D visualization, coupled with automated measurement techniques and AI integration, allows for a more precise assessment of the deformity’s complexity, including hallux valgus angle, intermetatarsal angle, and metatarsal pronation. This improved diagnostic accuracy facilitates better surgical planning and potentially leads to improved patient outcomes.” – Dong-Il Chun et al, “Weight-Bearing CT: Advancing the Diagnosis and Treatment of Hallux Valgus, Midfoot Pathology, and Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity”, Diagnostics 2025
