Extended pedal imaging via modifications of the traditional forefoot axial radiographic study: teaching new tricks to an old dog?
Although the proposed oblique forefoot axial modifications empirically add two additional plain film radiographic studies to a standard forefoot axial study, our initial study suggests that the imaging benefits far outweigh the liabilities. This is especially true when one considers the difficulties encountered when employing standard plain film pedal in an effort to clarify or delineate pathologic processes involving the midfoot bones or metatarsal bases. It is hoped that this study will spawn further use and research of these "novel" views.
