As surgical technologies continue to advance, imaging innovation remains at the heart of orthopedic progress.

In a recent discussion, Dr. Biggs of the Joint Replacement Institute, in Naples, Florida, shared how his practice has developed into a comprehensive care center, offering imaging, physical therapy, and pain management all under one roof. With modalities such as MRI, C-arm, mini C-arm, and ultrasound already integrated into daily workflow, the Institute is now looking toward WBCT as the next step in supporting surgical precision and data-driven planning.

“Without a doubt, it’s necessary,” Dr. Biggs said when asked about imaging technology evolving alongside surgical technique. “Many of our surgical technologies are going to be based off of that imaging.”

Beyond the clinical value, Dr. Biggs also emphasized the importance of maintaining independence for private practices. Ancillary services, including in-house imaging, play a role in supporting both patient satisfaction and practice sustainability.

With fewer orthopedic practices remaining private, many groups are exploring how advanced imaging can help them stay efficient, autonomous, and prepared for the next generation of surgical technology.

💡 “As technology develops, we expect opportunistic CT scans and hand radiographs to lessen the cost of screening, fracture treatment and prevention.” - Ong et al, Journal of Hand Surgery Global Online

CT is emerging as a powerful tool for bone health. With AI-driven analysis, every CT scan can become an opportunity to detect osteoporosis earlier and help prevent future fractures.

Fragility fractures are often the first visible sign of underlying osteoporosis but too often, they go unrecognized. A new study published in Journal of Hand Surgery Global Online highlights how hand surgeons can play a pivotal role in early bone health detection and prevention. Why Hand Surgeons Ar...

How accurate is patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) in total ankle arthroplasty when paired with weight bearing CT? A new study in Foot & Ankle Orthopaedics used WBCT scans before and after surgery to find out.

In 26 cases where PSI was fully used, two-thirds of implant position measurements landed within the ±2 mm or ±2° target range. Tibial cuts were especially precise, and outcomes were consistent, even in patients with significant preoperative deformity.

Why it matters: Malalignment is a major factor in implant failure. PSI guided by WBCT provides surgeons with a more functional, load-bearing view for confident resections and better alignment, critical for implant longevity.

🚨 New Study Validates WBCT for Surgical Planning
A peer-reviewed study published in Scientific Reports confirms that weight-bearing cone beam CT (WBCT) produces 3D bone models statistically equivalent to those from multi-detector CT (MDCT)—the gold standard in preoperative planning.

🦿 The study, led by Dr. Xiaoxu Li (Monash University / CurveBeam AI) with collaborators from Tennessee Orthopaedic Alliance and Hip and Knee Clinic Belgium, evaluated all four knee bones—femur, tibia, fibula, and patella—using patient and cadaver scans captured under protocols typical for robotic-assisted knee arthroplasty.

🔬 Key highlights:
Manual segmentation + multi-review validation
Submillimeter surface differences (

What changes when patients stand during imaging? Everything.
In this short clip, Dr. Philippe Van Overschelde explains how weight bearing CT scans reveal joint alignment in a completely different light. The way the femur fits onto the tibia dramatically changes when under load.
