Evaluation of foot deformity using a three-dimensional geometric model.

Abstract

A three-dimensional geometric model of the foot's bony structure based on the use of a stereoradiographic technique is presented. To illustrate the potential of such a model it has been applied here to the study of cavus foot in a patient having Friedreich's ataxia. This model permits an accurate evaluation of this complex spatial foot deformity.

The bunionette deformity.

The bunionette deformity results in pain about the lateral and/or the plantar aspect of the fifth metatarsal head. It is important to carefully assess the deformity anatomically in order to select the proper surgical procedure to correct this painful affliction. Knowledge of pathoanatomy and certain surgical procedures can be used to correct the deformity.
