Predicting postoperative sagittal plane alignment of the foot using intraoperative simulated weight bearing lateral imaging during flatfoot reconstructive surgery: A short term retrospective analysis
The Journal of Foot & Ankle Surgery Mar 11, 2021
Boffeli T, et al. - A retrospective study was conducted to explore the relationship of Meary's angle, calcaneal inclination angle, and calcaneal-1 st metatarsal angle as demonstrated on intraoperative simulated weight-bearing (WB) lateral foot imaging to 10- week postoperative full WB lateral radiographs. Researchers applied a consistent simulated WB imaging protocol with 46 consecutive cases of flatfoot reconstruction in this analysis of secular trends. The data validate the clinical usefulness of intraoperative simulated WB lateral imaging as a beneficial tool in predicting the postoperative sagittal plane alignment of the midfoot and rearfoot in patients undergoing flatfoot reconstructive surgery.
