Simulated weightbearing computed tomography for verification of radiographic staging of varus ankle osteoarthritis: a cross-sectional study

Abstract Background Varus ankle osteoarthritis is classified using only weightbearing anteroposterior ankle radiographs; however, sagittal ankle alignment may also affect the position and extent of joint space obliteration. We hypothesized that the sagittal alignment of the ankle may also affect the...
