  • Longitudinal tracking of deformities and visualization of surgical options (e.g., base wedge vs. neck osteotomy).
  • Leveraging computer hardware and specialized software (e.g., OrthoGraphics) for planning and documentation.

    • Main Results:

    • The software provides cost-effective, speedy, and accessible planning solutions.
    • It allows for detailed documentation, research capabilities, and educational applications.
    • Integrated systems can store extensive patient data, including numerous radiographs.

    Conclusions:

    • Computer-assisted presurgical planning is a valuable tool for reconstructive foot surgery.
    • The technology offers significant benefits in terms of efficiency, accuracy, and cost.
    • Its integration into podiatric medical college curricula can enhance biomechanics and surgical instruction.
