MPR view of the right plantar arch. Sagittal MPR images (A, B) demonstrate the plantar arch with apparent artifacts arising from the metal k- wires.

MIP visualisation of the plantar arch arteries. Coronal (A-D) and sagittal (E-H) MIP images show that the distal plantar arteries are occluded due to necrosis and occlusion in the location between 1st and 3rd metatarsal bones.

The presence of the k-wires can also be seen by the metallic artifacts present on the images, particularly along the first metatarsal (Figs 2D, 3D).
3D VR of the plantar arch arteries. VR images demonstrate the bony components and peripheral artery branches in the right foot (A-C), and the artery branches only (D, E). The distal plantar arteries between 1st and 3rd metatarsal bones are occluded.

Figure 3 demonstrates 3D VR images of the vascular supply through the area of interest with and without bony components. The presence of the k-wires can also be seen by the metallic artifacts present on the images, particularly along the first metatarsal (Figs 2D, 3D).
