In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between radiological criteria. Materials and Methods: One hundred and twenty-six candidates who came to us to get a health report to be used in military personnel recruitment applications, who were eliminated due to planus diagnosis, were evaluated retrospectively. Lateral radiographs taken by standing up and examination findings were evaluated. Calcaneal picth angle (CP), talo-calcaneal angle (TC), talus-1. metatarsal angle (TM) (meary), talo-horizontal angle (TH) were measured. CP was divided into 3 groups as 0-10, 10-15, 15-20, and these groups were compared with the other three angles. Results: When the examination were evaluated, While it was observed that all feet were planus in Group 1; in the 2nd Group, the right feet were 21.7%, the left 7.7%, in the 3rd Group the right 77.9% and the left 87.6% feet were healthy. TKA was normal in all three groups. On the other hand, in TZA and TMA values, as you go from Group 1 to Group 3, the rate of foot recovery increases. Angles based on the talus and 1st metatarsal correlate with clinical examination findings. If 126 candidates were evaluated according to other angles; 51 people from TZA, 48 people from TMA, and 5 people from TKA would have been eliminated. Conclusion: The angle most compatible with clinical examination findings was the meary angle. Especially in the recruitment of military personnel, considering the CP angle as the main criterion will eliminate candidates with normal feet. When diagnosing pes planus, the angle of meary should be prioritized and it should be supported by clinical examination.}, number={3}, publisher={Ankara University}
