Abstract
The article discusses advanced three-dimensional evaluation of hallux valgus deformity using weightbearing computed tomography. Conventional two-dimensional radiographs fall short in assessing the complexity of hallux valgus deformities, whereas weightbearing computed tomography provides detailed insights into bone alignment and joint stability in a weightbearing state. Recent studies have highlighted the significance of first ray hypermobility and intrinsic metatarsal rotation in hallux valgus, influencing surgical planning and outcomes. The integration of semiautomatic and artificial intelligence-assisted tools with weightbearing computed tomography is enhancing the precision of deformity assessment, leading to more personalized and effective hallux valgus management.
