Radiographic assessment of hallux valgus is an essential process. Residual rotational deformity was shown associated with higher recurrent rate. This study aims to comprehensively assess reliability of measurement of various parameters from plain films and weight-bearing CT scan. A total of 40 pre-operative plain radiographs, 40 post-operative plain radiographs, and 37 weight-bearing CT scan were evaluated to determine reliability of hallux valgus parameters. TSP and head shape representing coronal plane deformity showed lower inter-observer reliability compared to other parameters using for transverse plane evaluation especially in post-operative period. (post-op TSP amongst 3 assessors: κ = 0.386, 0.520, 0.340; post-op head shape: κ = 0.374, 0.375, 0.295) Using α angle for evaluation 1 metatarsal rotation in weight-bearing CT scan demonstrated very good reliability for inter-observer (ICC = 0.853 (95% CI = 0.715-0.925)) and intra-observer (ICC = 0.902 (95% CI = 0.844-0.939)). Weight-bearing CT scan can improve reliability in post-operative coronal plane assessment.
足拇外翻的放射学评估是一个重要的过程。残留的旋转畸形与更高的复发率有关。本研究旨在全面评估平片和负重 CT 扫描各参数测量的可靠性。共评估了 40 例术前平片、40 例术后平片和 37 例负重 CT 扫描,以确定足拇外翻参数的可靠性。与用于评估横平面的其他参数相比,冠状面畸形的 TSP 和头形的观察者间可靠性较低,尤其是在术后。(3 位评估者的术后 TSP:κ=0.386、0.520、0.340;术后头形:κ=0.374、0.375、0.295)使用α角进行评估,负重 CT 扫描中第 1 跖骨旋转的观察者间(ICC=0.853(95%CI=0.715-0.925))和观察者内(ICC=0.902(95%CI=0.844-0.939))可靠性非常好。负重 CT 扫描可以提高术后冠状面评估的可靠性。
