Radiographic Anatomy and Calcaneal Width Measurements on Tangential View

Issue:

Vol 66, Issue 2: 2017

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2014.357

Pages:

197–201

Synopsis:

Tangential calcaneal X-rays were performed on 30 patients with fractured calcaneus and 57 control individuals with normal calcaneus. Results demonstrated that tangential X-ray view of the calcaneus can be used to evaluate its radiographic anatomy and to measure its width.

ABSTRACT

Aim: To investigate the radiographic anatomical characters of the bones in the fractured calcaneus by using tangential X-rays.
