Video Summary

In this video, Shuyuan Li presents a study on three-dimensional measurements of the synostosis and tarsal canal in pediatric flexible flat feet deformity. The study was conducted by researchers from the University of Colorado, Steps to Walk, and Beijing Tongren Hospital. The aim was to measure the dimensions of these structures to aid in the design and implantation of arthritis procedures for correction of flat foot deformity. Weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing CT scans were used to measure parameters such as the widest and narrowest diameters, length, and volume of the tarsal canal. The results showed correlations with patient age, foot alignment, and mirror angle. The study may have implications for future studies and treatment of pediatric flat feet with arthritis.
