Correlation of Plain Radiographs and 3-Dimensional CT With Coronal and Sagittal Measurements in Patients Undergoing Corrective Osteotomies
This study found that coronal measurements performed on whole-leg radiographs and 3D CT were highly correlated, with near-perfect agreement, and that medial PTS measurements showed moderate agreement between modalities. These data suggest that measurements on plain radiographs are reproducible and accurate for evaluating coronal alignment and PTS preoperatively. Surgeons can confidently use plain radiographs to assess whether or not a patient is a candidate for a knee osteotomy.
