“…The RSA precision values in the present study ranged from 0.39-0.94 mm for translation and 1.0-1.7° for rotation. These results are fitting for the study setup and in accordance with previously published equivalent studies [9,10,25]. To further substantiate our results, the RSA control parameters indicate stable and consistent tantalum markers valid for reliable precision measurements.…”

“…Additionally, comparable RSA precision has been documented for in vitro kinematic studies in joints with limited mobility [ 7 , 8 ]. However, for clinical kinematic studies, this high-level precision is generally not reproduced due to the natural segmental motion present in the examined joint [ 9 - 11 ]. Furthermore, RSA requires several unique entities, including surgically placed tantalum markers and specially trained staff.…”
Background and purpose: 3-dimensional midfoot motion is hard to evaluate in clinical practice. We present a new computed tomography (CT)-based radiostereometric analysis (CT-RSA) technique to examine in vivo midfoot kinematics during single-leg stance and compare it with marker-based radiostereometry (RSA).Patients and methods: 8 patients were examined with bilateral non- and full-weight-bearing CT images of the midfoot. 1st tarsometatarsal motion was analyzed using a surface-registration technique (CT-RSA). As all patients had unilateral tantalum markers in the 1st cuneiform (C1) and 1st metatarsal (M1), comparison of precision with markerbased RSA was performed. CT-RSA precision was evaluated with surface registration of both C1–M1 bone and C1–M1 tantalum markers, while RSA precision was determined with C1–M1 markers only. Additionally, to remove motion bias, we evaluated intrasegmental CT-RSA precision by comparing proximal with distal part of M1.Results: Under physical load, the primary movement for the 1st tarsometatarsal joint was M1 dorsiflexion (mean 1.4°), adduction (mean 1.4°), and dorsal translation (mean 1.1 mm). CT-RSA precision, using surface bone or markers, was in the range of 0.3–0.7 mm for translation and 0.6–1.6° for rotation. In comparison, RSA precision was in the range of 0.4–0.9 mm for translation and 1.0–1.7° for rotation. Finally, intrasegmental CT-RSA precision was in the range of 0.1–0.2 mm for translation and 0.4–0.5° for rotation.Conclusion: CT-RSA is a valid and precise, non-invasive method to measure midfoot kinematics when compared with conventional RSA.

Background: Calcaneal lengthening osteotomy (CLO) is one of the main surgical options for treatment of pediatric idiopathic flexible flatfoot (FFF). Reportedly, calcaneocuboid (CC) joint subluxation occurs after CLO; however, its effect on the midfoot remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the radiologic midterm results after CLO treatment in pediatric idiopathic FFF. Methods: We evaluated 23 pediatric patients with idiopathic FFF aged ≥8 years, who underwent CLO from 1999 to 2017 owing to moderate to severe flatfoot deformity (assessed by visual inspection). Patients aged between 8 and 14 years were included (mean follow-up: 6.3 years; range, 3.1-11.4 years). Anteroposterior and lateral weightbearing foot radiographs were assessed for radiologic parameters preoperatively and at the 3-month, 1-year, and final follow-ups postoperatively. Results: All patients had immediate postoperative radiologic correction of the flatfoot deformity, and these improvements were maintained until the final follow-up. The mean allograft length inserted was 9 (range, 8-10) mm. There was increased CC joint subluxation after CLO, but it improved continuously until the final follow-up. A CC joint spur was newly noted in 1 case. There were 24 cases (24/39, 61.5%) of talonavicular (TN) joint spurs at the final follow-up, but 19 of these were already present on the preoperative radiographs (19/24, 79.2%). Further, the new-onset TN joint spurs were not associated with preoperative clinicoradiologic factors. Conclusion: In pediatric patients with idiopathic FFF receiving CLO treatment, preoperative radiologic angles improved. CC joint subluxation increased after surgery; however, it gradually reduced without evidence of CC joint arthritic changes over the time period studied in this cohort.
