Kent State Faculty and Students Research the Use of Weight Bearing CT to Effectively Assess Magnitude of Hallux Valgus Deformity
Hallux valgus is a triplane deformity. In patients with this deformity, the sesamoids displace from their normal alignment. Recent evidence suggests that, according to researchers, “the magnitude of this displacement can be determined by the coronal plane sesamoid rotation angle.” Podiatric doctors often use weight-bearing radiographs to determine the magnitude of the hallux valgus deformity. This…

Researchers propose reproducible method to quantify syndesmosis displacement based on spatial WBCT data
The syndesmosis is located just above the ankle where the tibia and fibula meet, providing stability to the ankle joint while allowing for its motion. A sprain, twist, rotational injury, or break to the ankle can stretch and tear the ligaments that support the syndesmosis. Syndesmotic injuries occur in up to 18 percent of all…
