  • Title: Helical CT of calcaneal fractures: technique and imaging features.
    Author: Wechsler RJ, Schweitzer ME, Karasick D, Deely DM, Morrison W.
    Journal: Skeletal Radiol; 1998 Jan; 27(1):1-6. PubMed ID: 9507601.
    Abstract:
    Since the degree of comminution, fracture alignment, and articular congruity of intra-articular calcaneal fractures are important determinants in surgical treatment and patient prognosis, we review helical computed tomographic (CT) technique and features for detecting and assessing the extent of acute calcaneal fractures. Helical CT can be used to classify these fractures and facilitate the surgeon's understanding of the anatomy and position of the fracture components in all orthogonal planes independently of the patient's condition, foot placement in the CT gantry, or other injuries.
