[X-ray computed tomography of fractures of the calcaneum. Apropos of 30 cases].
Computed tomography and lateral plain films have been studied in 30 fractures of calcaneus. C.T. allows us to study in the same time the two feet, with low mobilisation. Two planes are mandatory: --one, along the long axis of the calcaneus, allows a good evaluation of calcaneo-cuboïd joint, of the quality of the bone structure and of the large fragments or comminution; --the other one (coronal in 18 cases of along the tuberosity in 16 cases) shows directly the subtalar joint lesions (impaction, joint incongruence) and plantar fracture line. This study conclude that CT is useful for the evaluation of the severity calcaneus fractures and for treatment selection because of a better evaluation of lesions.
