AAFD: Conventional Radiographs are not Enough! I Need the Third Dimension

In this study, we reviewed the recent literature about the use of WBCT in AAFD, starting from a critical analysis about the biases related to conventional radiography and to non-standing CT. Then, we focused on the effects of load on the 3D architecture of the foot and ankle in AAFD. Finally, we discussed the benefits and future perspectives for the use of WBCT in the management of this condition and as a surgical planning tool as well.
