The role of multidetector CT in evaluation of calcaneal fractures
Purpose: This study aimed at evaluating the role played by multidetector computed tomography in decision making in the management of extra and intraarticular fractures of the calcaneus. Patients and methods: Twenty-eight patients with calcaneal fractures were included. Radiographs and multidetector...

Patients and methods: Twenty-eight patients with calcaneal fractures were included. Radiographs and multidetector computed tomography were performed.

The most common fracture was Sanders type IV (40%). No statistically significant correlation was found between Sanders fractures types I, II and III and Bohler’s angle.
