What is Instability of the First Ray and Hallux Valgus in Patients with Adult Acquired Flatfoot Deformity (AAFD): A Weightbearing CT Study about?
Category: Bunion Introduction/Purpose: Longitudinal arch collapse and first ray instability represent landmarks for adult acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD), and have been linked to the development and progression of hallux valgus (HV). Radiographic evaluation of first ray instability is usually marked by increased angulation between the first and second metatarsals. The 1-2 intermetatarsal angle (IMA) is also an important aspect in the staging of HV deformity. Weightbearing CT imaging (WBCT) provides three-dimensional evaluation of dynamic deformities such as AAFD and HV. The purpose of this study was to assess the correlation between hallux valgus severity and foot collapse indicators using WBCT measurements, in patients with AAFD. We hypothesized that a flattening of the longitudinal arch, increased hindfoot valgus and forefoot abduction would correlate with greater IMA and HV angles. Methods: In this retrospective comparative study, 108 patients with stage II AAFD, 36 men and 72 women, with a mean age of 54.4 (range, 20-78) years, had their WBCTs evaluated by 2 blinded and independent board-certified foot and ankle orthopedic surgeons. The readers assessed multiple variables re
