Summary
This study found a significant correlation between hallux valgus (HV) and pes planus using a deep learning model. Both conditions worsen together, indicating a strong relationship.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Medical Imaging
- Artificial Intelligence
Background:
- The connection between hallux valgus (HV) and pes planus is not fully understood.
- Previous research has not definitively established a correlation between these two foot conditions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the correlation between hallux valgus and pes planus.
- To utilize a deep learning model for precise radiographic angle measurements.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of 212 foot radiographs using a deep learning model.
- Measurement of hallux valgus angles (hallux valgus angle, intermetatarsal angle) and pes planus angles (Meary's angle, calcaneal pitch angle).
- Correlation analysis to assess the relationship between HV and pes planus parameters.
Main Results:
- All measured radiographic parameters showed significant intercorrelations.
- Increased severity of hallux valgus was associated with worsening pes planus.
- Increased severity of pes planus was associated with worsening hallux valgus.
Conclusions:
- A significant correlation between hallux valgus and pes planus was established.
- Deep learning-assisted radiographic measurements provide a reliable method for assessing this relationship.
