Comparative Assessment of Midfoot Osteoarthritis Diagnostic Sensitivity Using Weight Bearing Computed Tomography vs Weight Bearing Plain Radiography
Key Points: When evaluating midfoot arthritis osteoarthritis (OA), Weight Bearing X-Ray shows many false negatives and false positives, even when read by a musculoskeletal (MSK) radiologist, as compared to weight bearing CT (WBCT). WBCT is diagnostically and clinically superior to weight…
Researchers Discuss Clinical Relevance of Knee OA Clinical Trials Using WBCT
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) clinical trials results show that weight bearing CT (WBCT) imaging may offer new insights into OA pathology beyond what plain radiographs and MRI can provide. Some of these findings could immediately be translated into clinical practice as…
CT Outperforms MRI in Osteophyte Detection in Knees
Key Points: While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) adequately detects the size and presence of osteophytes (OPs) in the medial tibio-femoral compartment, it underestimates OPs in all other knee compartments of osteoarthritic patients. CT may be helpful in the assessment of…
Dr. Cesar de Cesar Netto, MD, PhD, Awarded Top Paper in Foot and Ankle Classification
Dr. Cesar de Cesar Netto, MD, PhD, received the award for Top Paper in Foot and Ankle Classification by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) at the AAOS 2023 Annual Meeting in Las Vegas on March 8. He received…
WBCT and its Evolving Role in OA Research and Clinical Practice
Key Points: Weight bearing CT (WBCT) can detect signs of osteoarthritis (OA), such as osteophytes, subchondral cysts, and joint space narrowing better than radiographs. Emerging evidence suggests WBCT reveals meniscal extrusion not detected by MRI and WBCT arthrography visualizes meniscal…
