Use of WBCT in Preoperative Planning of Joint Preservation Surgery for Ankle Arthritis

In a recent AOFAS WBCTS video, Young Yi, MD, PhD, orthopedic surgeon, Inje University Sanggye Paik Hospital in Seoul, South Korea highlights the critical role of weight bearing CT (WBCT) in diagnosing and planning treatment for ankle osteoarthritis. Unlike traditional radiographs, WBCT offers more accurate assessment of joint morphology, deformities, and talus positioning, leading to better surgical decisions. Ultimately, Dr. Yi calls WBCT a “fantastic tool” for surgeons aiming to perform effective joint preservation surgeries.
