Abstract
In this study, we tested the hypothesis that, when compared with non-weight bearing (NWB) measurements, weight bearing (WB) measurements on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images can better demonstrate adult-acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD). We included 12 men and 8 women (mean age, 52 years; range, 20–88) with flexible AAFD. Eighteen of 19 measurements were different between WB and NWB CBCT images, with more pronounced deformities in the WB images. In conclusion, measurements analogous to traditional AAFD radiographic measurements are obtainable using CBCT. Compared with NWB images, WB images better demonstrated the severity of bony derangement in patients with flexible AAFD.
