Background:
The relationship between hallux valgus (HV) and pes planus remains unresolved. This study aims to determine the correlation between HV and pes planus using a deep learning (DL) model to measure radiographic angle parameters.
Methods:
In total, radiographs of 212 feet detectable by the DL model were analyzed. HV was evaluated using the hallux valgus and intermetatarsal angles, while pes planus was assessed using the lateral talo-first metatarsal (Meary's) and calcaneal pitch angles. Correlation analyses were performed for each DL model-measured angle parameter. We investigated whether pes planus worsened with increasing severity of HV and vice versa.
Results:
All parameters were significantly correlated with each other. Pes planus worsened with increasing severity of HV, and as the severity of pes planus increased, HV also worsened.
Conclusion:
Utilizing the DL model-assisted radiographic angle measurements, this study established a significant correlation between HV and pes planus.
Level Of Evidence:
III.
