Abstract:
Weight-bearing computed tomography has multiple advantages in evaluating the hindfoot and ankle. It can assess hindfoot and ankle alignment, pathology in ankle arthritis, and complications related to total ankle replacements. It is an essential tool in ankle osteoarthritis diagnostic, preoperative planning, and total ankle replacement outcomes. It allows for better accuracy and reproducibility of alignment and implant size. In addition, it has the potential to more assertively detect complications related to weight bearing.
