Mar 23, 2023 · 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.

Jan 16, 2024 · 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.

Mar 23, 2023 · 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 visualise and characterise calcaneum fragment displacements and fracture lines.

Mar 23, 2023 · 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.

Feb 18, 2025 · This view demonstrates the location and extent of fractures in the foot, joint space abnormalities, soft tissue effusions and is the frontal view for the examination of foreign bodies. Patient position. the patient may be supine or upright depending on comfort

Aug 10, 2024 · The calcaneus is an irregular, roughly cuboidal bone sitting below the talus. Its long axis is oriented along the midline of the foot, however deviates lateral to the midline anteriorly. It projects posteriorly to form the core of the heel. The posterior part of the calcaneus is circular, with three facets (superior, middle, and inferior).

Mar 23, 2023 · The ankle AP view is part of a three view series, and visualizes the distal tibia, distal fibula, proximal talus and proximal fifth metatarsal.

Mar 23, 2023 · The Broden's view (or Broden view) is a specialized projection that accurately 1 examines the large posterior calcaneal facet and the subtalar joint 2. As technology advances, computed tomography (CT) has widely been used to better visualize and characterize fragment displacements and fracture lines.

Apr 7, 2023 · The hindfoot alignment view is a specialized, weight-bearing radiographic view that examines the hindfoot alignment as part of a foot and ankle instability investigation. The long axial view requires no equipment and has higher inter-observer reliability when measuring angular hindfoot alignment 1,2 .

Dec 8, 2024 · 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.
