Objective: To evaluate the angle between the axis of the intersesamoidal ridge of the first metatarsal and the axis of the first
metatarsal, studies were previously performed on dry bones.
However, since dry bones can not accurately reflect the first
metatarsophalangeal angle, it is not easy to establish its relationship with Hallux Valgus (HV). A 3D-Printed model may
be important in accurately detecting the ridge axis in individuals with HV and health.
Methods: According to our power analysis, 51 retrospectives
computed tomographies of 25 individuals with HV and 26
healthy individuals were collected. The first metatarsal was modeled via 3D slicer software and exported in STL format. The
angle between the axis of the intersesamoidal ridge and the axis
of the first metatarsal was measured digitally via Ansys software.
At the same time, the 3D-Print of the relevant model was taken
and it was measured manually with a transparent protractor.
Results: In the study, since the variables were normally distributed, dependent groups were measured with the t-test. As a
result of the analysis, it was observed that there was no significant difference between digital and manual measurements
(p>0.05). One case from the HV group was unsuitable for ridge
measurement.
Conclusion: In this study, we provide a protocol for detecting
the ridge axis with an accurate, easy, and inexpensive method.
3D Models can be useful in the preoperative planning phase in
HV surgery.
