Nonunion Risk Assessment in Foot and Ankle Surgery: Proposing a Predictive Risk Assessment Model.

abstract：BACKGROUND:A few studies report correlations between radiographic and anatomic measurements of the distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA). However, little is known about how the DMAA correlates with the hallux valgus angle (HVA) and with anatomic and clinical radiographic measurements. METHODS:We dissected, measured...
