Are You Getting the Most Accurate Diagnosis for Your Bunion Pain?
Bunions are more than just a bump on the side of your foot—they can cause chronic pain, limited mobility, and long-term joint damage if left untreated. Yet, many patients struggle to get a clear and accurate diagnosis using traditional X-rays, which provide only a two-dimensional view of the foot.
At Dovetail Orthopedics, we’re changing the way bunions are evaluated with pedCAT 3D standing CT imaging, a cutting-edge technology that offers a more precise, weight-bearing assessment of your foot structure. This advanced approach helps us develop better treatment plans and improve patient outcomes—and we’re offering free evaluations at our National Bunion Day event on April 15, 2025!
Why Traditional X-Rays Fall Short for Bunion Diagnosis
For decades, bunion evaluations have relied on standard X-rays, which offer limited views of the foot. While helpful, X-rays only provide a flat, two-dimensional image, making it difficult to fully understand how a bunion affects foot structure and movement.
Many patients experience pain while standing and walking, but traditional imaging doesn’t capture how the foot responds under real-life, weight-bearing conditions. This can lead to incomplete assessments and less effective treatment plans.
How pedCAT 3D Standing CT Imaging Provides a Clearer Picture
Unlike X-rays, pedCAT standing CT imaging provides a detailed, three-dimensional view of the foot while bearing weight. This means:
✔ More accurate bunion assessments – See how your bones shift and react under pressure.
✔ Better treatment planning – Allows for more precise surgical and non-surgical strategies.
✔ Low radiation exposure – Less than what you receive in a single day from natural background radiation.
By using this state-of-the-art imaging technology, our team at Dovetail Orthopedics can provide faster, more effective bunion evaluations—helping patients get the relief they need sooner.
