A radographic comparative study of the forefoot angles with and without weigh-bearing

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the degree and the pattern of variation of the angles IMT, MTF and AADM and angular difference exists between female and male. Methods: Where 52 patients (25 men and 27 women) totaling 104 feet were evaluated radiographically AP with and without load and measured IMT, MTF and AADM. Results: showed statistically significant difference between IMT, MTF and DMAA (p 0.005). Conclusion: Comparison of the angular measurements taken in radiographs with load and without load statistically significant difference was observed, with no difference in the comparison between men and women, then we suggest one standardization of radiographic evaluation of the forefoot to prevent errors in monitoring and decision making.
