“After using the pedCAT for a year, I am very impressed with how much I need it, and how many different things I use it for,” Dr. Bob Baravarian said at the 2015 Western Foot and Ankle Conference held in Anaheim, Cali. The California Podiatric Medical Association hosted the meeting at the end of June. Dr. Baravarian cited Hallux Rigidus as one example where pedCAT imaging has been helpful because he is able to properly assess the sesamoids. Dr. Baravarian confirmed his practice is realizing positive revenue streams as a result of the device.

Diagnostic Options for Freiberg’s Avascular Necrosis

The underlying causes of avascular necrosis of the second metatarsal head are not totally understood, but early diagnosis is essential. Delayed treatment can result in a collapse of the articular surface, making treatment more difficult. Dr. Bob Baravarian, DPM, explained his preferred methods for diagnosing the condition in the May 2015 issue of Podiatry Today. An X-Ray will show the overall contour and alignment of the metatarsal head. MRI is one option for a secondary study, but edema and swelling can limit visualization of the surrounding bone region, Dr. Baravarian explained. Weight bearing CT scans, meanwhile, clearly show the bones and joints and how they are aligned. Weight bearing CT is "our go-to imaging study," Dr. Baravarian said in the article. "With adequate diagnostic testing and proper patient and procedure selection, one can treat avascular necrosis of the metatarsal head with good to excellent outcomes," Dr. Baravarian said. Dr. Baravarian is the director of University Foot and Ankle Institute in Los Angeles. His practice offers weight bearing CT imaging services.

Case Study: pedCAT vs. Radiographs

A patient sought a second opinion for the cause of her medial foot and ankle pain. The treating physician used plain radiographs to diagnose her with posterior tibial tendon dysfunction/partial tear and degenerative joint disease of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd tarsometatarsal joints. The treating physician also noted a “chip” of bone on the inside of the ankle. The treating physician planned on performing a flat foot reconstruction, a posterior tibial tendon repair, and a tarsometatarsal joint fusion. The physician performing the second opinion noted the patient’s discomfort over the medial ankle gutter was much more significant than over the posterior tibial tendon and the spring ligament. The patient had minimal discomfort through the tarsometatarsal joints. The physician performing the second opinion ordered a weight bearing pedCAT study to assess the midfoot DJD and to better evaluate the midtarsal joint and ankle joint. The pedCAT study clearly documented a degenerative process in the medial ankle gutter with a bony impingement. On secondary exam, the majority of the symptoms arose from the medial ankle gutter. If the flat foot reconstruction was performed as planned, the talus would have been dorsiflexed and the tibio-talar impingement would have been worsened. The pedCAT images helped prevent an un-necessary surgery, while directing the physician to the appropriate pathology.
