Correlation Between Traditional Anteroposterior Radiographic Measurements with Lateral Radiographic Measurements Following Triplanar Correction of Hallux Valgus and with Patient-Reported Outcomes from a Prospective Multicenter Trial

Hallux valgus (HV) is a common condition in which the first ray is deformed, leading to pain and altered joint mechanics. A variety of radiographic measurements are used to evaluate HV. Little is known about measurements used in assessment of HV on lateral radiographs compared to anteroposterior (AP) radiographs. The primary aim of this study was to correlate lateral measurements with AP measurements pre- and post-operatively. The secondary aim was to correlate lateral measurements with patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) pre- and post-operatively.
