A methodology for measuring the kinematic parameters of joints in vivo has been refined using the technique of computerized three-dimensional reconstruction from magnetic resonance images. A research protocol has been developed to establish a classification of normal and pathologic foot function that will have broad clinical application. Development of algorithms for a computer-directed program that can predict resultant kinematics and joint morphometry for a given osteotomy or osseous remodeling procedure will assist the surgeon in preoperative surgical planning.
