N2  - BACKGROUND: Our purpose was to assess the reliability of measurements of adult-acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) taken by investigators of different levels of clinical experience using weightbearing computed tomography (WBCT); CONCLUSIONS: AAFD radiographic measurements can be performed reliably by investigators with different levels of clinical experience using WBCT; Copyright (c) 2018 European Foot and Ankle Society. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved; LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level II, prospective comparative study; METHODS: Nineteen AAFD patients underwent WBCT. Three investigators with different levels of clinical experience made AAFD measurements in axial, coronal, and sagittal planes. Intra- and interobserver reliability were assessed. Mean values for each measurement were compared between investigators; RESULTS: After a training protocol, substantial to perfect intra- and interobserver reliability was observed for most measures, regardless of the investigator's experience level. Significant differences between investigators were observed in 2 of 21 measured parameters: medial cuneiform-first metatarsal angle (P=0.003) and navicular-medial cuneiform angle (P=0.001)
