title: Computed tomography of the hindfoot.
abstract: Computed tomography defines the anatomy and pathology of the talus, the calcaneus, and intervening joints better than conventional modalities. It enhances the understanding and diagnosis of the various musculoskeletal disorders affecting those structures. As a result, the clinical and surgical management is improved.
