“…To really assess reliability, the radiographs would therefore have to be repeated on each patient, which would be ethically difficult to explain. This was done in a previous study using a cadaveric setup 3 where a 30-degree difference in rotation of the foot could result in a 50% difference in HFA value. So repeatability truly lies in the radiographic setting.…”

“…With respect to HFA, there is no Gold Standard or "true" measurement. 3,6,22 Rotation and other potential bias influence the value of HFA measurements. 3 However, in most studies, reliability is assessed using intra and interobserver reliability carried out on the same radiograph for each patient.…”

“…3,6,22 Rotation and other potential bias influence the value of HFA measurements. 3 However, in most studies, reliability is assessed using intra and interobserver reliability carried out on the same radiograph for each patient. So it is logical that the same observer (intra observer), or 2 observers (inter observer), given the same instructions, would find the same value.…”

“…7,[27][28][29]41 HFA measures based on 2D radiographs are flawed by many anatomical and operator-related bias, which have been extensively investigated in the literature. * These include projection and rotational issues, 3,22 mostly with regards to the use of the tibia as a reference axis. 6 Previous studies on the HFA have focused on which technique to use and measurement methods.…”

Background: Hindfoot alignment on 2D radiographs can present anatomical and operator-related bias. In this study, software designed for weightbearing computed tomography (WBCT) was used to calculate a new 3D biometric tool: the Foot and Ankle Offset (FAO). We described the distribution of FAO in a series of data sets from clinically normal, varus, and valgus cases, hypothesizing that FAO values would be significantly different in the 3 groups. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 135 data sets (57 normal, 38 varus, 40 valgus) from WBCT (PedCAT; CurveBeam LLC, Warrington, PA) were obtained from a specialized foot and ankle unit. 3D coordinates of specific anatomical landmarks (weightbearing points of the calcaneus, of the first and fifth metatarsal heads and the highest and centermost point on the talar dome) were collected. These data were processed with the TALAS system (CurveBeam), which resulted in an FAO value for each case. Intraobserver and interobserver reliability were also assessed. Results: In normal cases, the mean value for FAO was 2.3% ± 2.9%, whereas in varus and valgus cases, the mean was −11.6% ± 6.9% and 11.4% ± 5.7%, respectively, with a statistically significant difference among groups (P < .001). The distribution of the normal population was Gaussian. The inter-and intraobserver reliability were 0.99 +/-0.00 and 0.97 +/-0.02 Conclusions: This pilot study suggests that the FAO is an efficient tool for measuring hindfoot alignment using WBCT. Previously published research in this field has looked at WBCT by adapting 2D biometrics. The present study introduces the concept of 3D biometrics and describes an efficient, semiautomatic tool for measuring hindfoot alignment. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective comparative study.

The role of arthroereisis of the subtalar joint for flatfoot in children and adults

Subtalar arthroereisis has been reported as a minimally-invasive, effective and low-risk procedure in the treatment of flatfoot mainly in children but also in adults.It has been described as a standalone or adjunctive procedure, and is indicated in the treatment of flexible flatfoot, tibialis posterior tendon dysfunction, tarsal coalition and accessory navicular syndrome.Different devices for subtalar arthroereisis are currently used throughout the world associated with soft-tissue and bone procedures, depending on the surgeon rather than on standardised or validated protocols.Sinus tarsi pain is the most frequent complication, often requiring removal of the implant.To date, poor-quality evidence is available in the literature (Level IV and V), with only one comparative non-randomised study (Level II) not providing strong recommendations. Long-term outcome and complication rates (especially the onset of osteoarthritis) are still unclear.Cite this article: EFORT Open Rev 2017;2:438–446. DOI: 10.1302/2058-5241.2.170009
