Résumé
The authors compared measurements of hindfoot alignment on MR imaging with weight-bearing CT (WB-CT) to establish the degree of correlation. Forty-seven feet in 44 patients had weight-bearing CT and MRI studies performed on the same day. Hindfoot alignment on MRI was assessed by two radiologists who calculated tibiocalcaneal angle (TCA) and calcaneofibular ligament angle (CFLA). On WB-CT, foot ankle offset (FAO), calcaneal offset (CO) and hindfoot angle (HA) were assessed by a senior Foot and Ankle Surgeon using dedicated software. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the correlation between these measurements. The study group comprised 27 males and 17 females with a mean age of 45 years (range 13-79 years). A statistically significant positive correlation was identified between TCA on MRI and all measurements of hindfoot alignment on WB-CT (p = 0.001-0.005). The CFLA on MRI only had significant correlation with CO on WB-CT (p = 0.03). A significant negative correlation was observed between both MRI parameters (p < 0.001). A highly significant correlation between tibiocalcaneal angle on non-weight-bearing ankle MR imaging and hindfoot alignment measurements on weight-bearing CT was identified.
