Three-Dimensional Assessment of Charcot Neuroarthropathy Deformities: Comparison of Standard 2D vs Patient-Specific 3D Measurements.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The purpose of this study is to compare foot and ankle deformity measurements obtained from 2-dimensional (2D) radiographs vs 3-dimensional (3D) modalities in Charcot neuroarthropathy (CN) feet by using a patient-specific coordinate system.

Methods

This retrospective study reviewed foot and ankle imaging for 25 patients with a diagnosis of CN of the lower extremity, type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic neuropathy, or lower limb neuropathy. Radiographs and either computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were obtained for each patient and used to make angle and distance measurements used clinically to describe deformity. 2D measurements were obtained using standard methods, involving annotating planar radiographs. The 3D measurement proce
