Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is to analyze the three-dimensional lower limb morphology in patients with unilateral varus-type ankle osteoarthritis using CT, and to apply the results to finite element analysis in order to evaluate the biomechanical effects of bone morphology on the ankle joint.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

To apply the obtained morphological data to finite element analysis in order to evaluate the effects of bone morphology on intra-articular stress distribution.

Key inclusion criteria

Common criteria:
1. Age 20 years or older.
2. Lower-limb CT performed or scheduled for clinical care.
3. Written informed consent for prospective enrollment. For retrospective use of existing data, public disclosure of study information and an opportunity to opt out, with no refusal of research use.

Ankle osteoarthritis group:
Unilateral varus ankle osteoarthritis of Tanaka-Takakura stage 2-3a, a talar tilt angle of at least 4 degrees, and no evident osteoarthritis in the contralateral hindfoot.

Control group:
No ankle osteoarthritis on either side; CT performed or scheduled for clinical assessment of unilateral lower-limb trauma, including fractures; and no evident history of trauma, deformity, or abnormality on the contralateral side selected for analysis. CT images must be suitable for analysis.

Key exclusion criteria

Common criteria:
1. Evident forefoot disorders, including hallux valgus with an angle of 30 degrees or greater.
2. Pregnancy.
3. Absence of written informed consent for prospective enrollment, or refusal of study participation or research use of data.

Ankle osteoarthritis group:
4. Major foot trauma, paralysis, or previous foot surgery.
5. Marked deformity due to other foot disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis or gout.
6. Bilateral ankle osteoarthritis.
7. Bone diseases other than osteoarthritis.

Control group:
8. A history of trauma involving both lower limbs or feet.
9. Evident foot deformity, previous foot surgery, or chronic foot disease.
10. Evident foot disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis or gout.

Other

Other related information

This observational study uses lower-limb CT images and clinical information obtained for clinical care. It combines prospective enrollment with written informed consent and retrospective use of existing data with public disclosure and an opportunity to opt out. Three-dimensional bone morphology is compared between patients with unilateral varus ankle osteoarthritis and controls using geometric morphometrics and applied to finite element analysis. No additional CT examinations or extension of the scan range are performed for research purposes.
