Weight-Bearing CT for Diseases around the Ankle Joint.
Jahyung KimJaeyoung KimSaintpee KimYoung YiPublished in: Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland) (2024)
Weight-bearing computed tomography (WBCT) enables acquisition of three-dimensional bony structure images in a physiological weight-bearing position, which is fundamental in understanding the pathologic lesions and deformities of the ankle joint. Over the past decade, researchers have focused on validating and developing WBCT measurements, which has significantly enhanced our knowledge of common foot and ankle diseases. Consequently, understanding the application of WBCT in clinical practice is becoming more important to produce improved outcomes in the treatment of disease around the ankle joint. This review will describe an overview of what is currently being evaluated in foot and ankle surgery using WBCT and where the course of research will be heading in the future.
