Materials and Methods: In this radiological measurement study, computed tomography (CT) images of 200 (100 males, 100 females) patients who underwent multidetector lower extremity CT were investigated. CT axial sections were subjected to coronal and sagittal multiplanar reconstruction. The longest calcaneal diameters in the axial, sagittal, and coronal planes were measured. The distance between the standardized entry point of the screw on the lateral wall of calcaneus and the sustentaculum tali was measured.
Results: Mean age was 42.31 ± 13.64 years (minimum, 18 years; maximum, 82 years). The distance from the determined point on the lateral wall to the sustentaculum tali (LSA) was measured along the axial plane and was 46.08 ± 4.34 mm in males and 41.37 ± 2.97 mm in females. The distance between the lateral wall and the sustentaculum tali (LSC) in the coronal plane was 50.15 ± 3.89 mm in males and 43.65 ± 3.50 mm in females.
Conclusion: If mean community values are available, evaluation of screw length and calcaneal morphometry using preoperative images will enhance surgical success.}, number={3}, publisher={Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi}
