Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity (PCFD), previously known as adult-acquired flatfoot deformity, is a multifactorial disorder characterized by concurrent multiplanar bony deformities. These deformities include, but are…
Midfoot Arthritis Midfoot arthritis occurs when there is loss of cartilage at the tarsometatarsal and/or navicular-cuneiform joints. It has the potential to cause significant pain, disability, and decreased quality of…
Lisfranc Injuries A Lisfranc injury is characterized by an injury to the ligament that connects the medial cuneiform with the 2nd metatarsal base (Lisfranc ligament). Often, there are associated midfoot…
End Stage Ankle Arthritis End-stage ankle arthritis occurs when there is loss of cartilage at the tibiotalar joint. Post-traumatic ankle arthritis is the most common etiology. A weight bearing CT…
Syndesmosis A syndesmotic ankle sprain, also known as high ankle sprain, is an injury to one or more of the ligaments comprising the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis. A weight bearing CT…
Hallux Valgus Hallux valgus is a three-dimensional deformity of the first ray in which the first metatarsal moves into varus, pronates, and dorsiflexes. This deformity affects the 1st metatarsophalangeal (MTP)…
Key Points: Weight Bearing CT (WBCT) imaging has facilitated the introduction of a new classification system for Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity (PCFD), commonly known as flatfoot. WBCT is particularly useful…
Weight Bearing Certain injuries and deformities are better assessed when the bones and joints are under natural load. This provides a functional view of alignment and joint space.
The Intenational Weight Bearing CT Society (IWBCTS) held its next symposium, titled "Recent Advances in 3D Imaging Applied to WBCT" at the Eurpean Foot & Ankle Society (EFAS) Congress in…
EFAS aims to promote the development of foot and ankle surgery and to advance education, study, and research in this specialty. EFAS will meet its goal of the advancement of the…
