Hindfoot Alignment Measurements: Rotation-Stability of Measurement Techniques on Hindfoot Alignment View and Long Axial View Radiographs

Abstract

Hindfoot alignment measurements should be performed on hindfoot alignment view radiographs using the medial or lateral calcaneal contour or on long axial view radiographs using the calcaneal axis. Interreader agreement of hindfoot alignment measurements is slightly better on long axial view radiographs than on hindfoot alignment view radiographs.
