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).</p><p><strong>Patients and methods: </strong>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.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>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.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>CT-RSA is a valid and precise, non-invasive method to measure midfoot kinematics when compared with conventional RSA.</p>","PeriodicalId":6916,"journal":{"name":"Acta Orthopaedica","volume":"94 ","pages":"366-372"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/79/5b/ActaO-94-16905.PMC10370411.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9936057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
