2023年3月23日 · The calcaneus axial view is part of the two view calcaneus series assessing the talocalcaneal joint and plantar aspects of the calcaneus. As technology advances, computed tomography (CT) has widely been used 1 to better visualize and characterize calcaneum fragment displacements and fracture lines.

2024年1月16日 · The calcaneus series is comprised of a lateral and axial (plantodorsal) projection. The calcaneus is the most commonly fractured tarsal bone accounting for ~60% of all tarsal fractures 1 . This series provides a two view investigation of the calcaneus alongside the talar articulations and talocalcaneal joint .

2024年8月10日 · The calcaneus, also referred to as the calcaneum, (plural: calcanei or calcanea) is the largest tarsal bone and the major bone in the hindfoot. It articulates with the talus superiorly and the cuboid anteriorly and shares a joint space with the talonavicular joint, appropriately called the talocalcaneonavicular joint.

2018年4月2日 · A calcaneus x-ray, also known as calcaneus series or calcaneus radiograph, is a set of two x-rays of the calcaneus. It is performed to look for evidence of injury (or pathology) affecting the leg, often after trauma.

2023年3月23日 · The calcaneus lateral view is part of the two view calcaneus series; this projection is used to assess the calcaneus, talocrural, talonavicular and talocalcaneal joint. As technology advances, computed tomography (CT) has widely been used 1 to better visualize and characterize calcaneum fragment displacements and fracture lines.

2024年12月8日 · Calcaneal fractures are best assessed with a calcaneal series of radiographs, though are often identified on a lateral ankle radiograph if the presentation does not lead the requesting of calcaneal views specifically.

Calcaneal fractures and other pathology are common, and thus it is important to have a detailed understanding of calcaneal anatomy.

These are illustrative radiographs of normal feet and calcaneus bones appearances and alignment. For more examples like this one, please refer to the article on normal lower limb imaging examples.

2024年9月15日 · An os calcaneus secundarius is an accessory ossicle of the anterior calcaneal process present in up to 5% of the population at cadaveric examination. The ossicle can be a cause of ankle pain and may mimic bifurcate ligament avulsion fracture of the anterior calcaneal process. Differential diagnosis

2022年1月10日 · The Böhler angle, also written as Bohler angle or Boehler angle, is also called the calcaneal angle or tuber joint angle. It is used in the assessment of intra-articular calcaneal fractures.
