Calcaneocuboid Joint Involvement in Calcaneal Fractures-CT Based Analysis and Classification

Methods: Preoperative computed tomography scans with axial, coronal and sagittal reformations of 100 displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures (87 patients) were evaluated for: Bohler’s angle, Sanders, Zwipp and Eastwood/Atkins classifications, and calcaneocuboid, anterior, or middle subtalar articular involvement. Primary fracture line location and extension into the CCJ was measured on axial, coronal and sagittal computed tomography views. Number and orientation of fracture lines were analyzed. A classification of CCJ involvement is proposed.
