Roentgenographs Study of Cavus Foot Deformity in Friedreich Ataxia Patients: Preliminary Report

Abstract: SUMMARY:The preliminary results based on a three year retrospective study in cavus foot deformity of forty-four Friedreich ataxia patients regularly seen at the Neuromuscular Disease Clinic of Sainte-Justine Hospital have been presented. An accurate “weight-bearing” foot stereoradiographic technique has been recently developed by our group. Since the follow-up period with this device is not sufficient to provide statistical information, the conventional non-weight bearing technique has been utilized in this st… Show more

“…Clinical norms for these three-dimensional indices do not exist, thus these preliminary results were initially compared with those obtained from a foot skeleton. Though the significance of this comparison is limited, it does agree in essence with results from a more exhaustive study on cavus foot deformity in Friedreich's ataxia (Allard et al, 1982) where cavus foot is described by a heightening of the medial arch, forefoot pronation and varus of the calcaneus.…”

“…Other researchers have quantified foot shape using X-ray parameters, such as the lateral talometatarsal angle, [7][8][9][10][11][12] the calcaneal pitch angle, [12][13][14] and the talonavicular coverage angle. 9,11,12 While some X-ray parameters have good inter-rater reliability, 9,15 large variability between measurements has also been reported.…”
