BACKGROUND: Three-dimensional weightbearing CT (WBCT) has been widely used to assess foot and ankle alignment. However, most current measurement methods are based on 2-dimensional concepts-distance, long axis, angulation, etc-and are sensitive to changes in orientation of the WBCT images. This study demonstrated how changes in positioning of the image can significantly influence the evaluation of hindfoot alignment.
METHODS: WBCT scans of 10 feet without deformities were used. In the horizontal view, the long axis of the foot image was aligned to a neutral position and then rotated 5, 10, 15, and 20 degrees both internally and externally to simulate malposition. The Calcaneal Moment Arm (CMA) was measured by 2 investigators independently in the above positions. An intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) model was used to assess the intra- and interobserver reliabilities. The correlation between the CMA and the rotation angle of the foot images was analyzed using linear regression.
RESULTS: The CMA measurements demonstrated that internal rotation of the image changed the neutral hindfoot into valgus, whereas external rotation led to varus. A 1-degree internal or external rotation of the image correlated with 0.48 (±0.03) mm increase or decrease in the modified WBCT-CMA value (P < .0001, R2 = 0.6406).
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that although 3D WBCT provides the ability to observe the foot from different perspectives, current alignment evaluation tools are limited to 2 dimensions. Therefore, positioning the WBCT images in a consistent orientation is important to generate correct data.
