“…3b) is formed by the line from the calcaneal sulcus to the tip of the anterior surface of the calcaneus, and the posterior facet. This angle was divided in three predefined groups based upon the normal values for Gissane's angle (mean 123 to 127°, with a standard deviation 6 to 8°, and a range from 108 to 138°) [22,23].…”

“…3c) is created from two intersecting lines: a line between the highest point of the posterior facet and the anterior surface, and a line in the plane of the inferior surface of the calcaneus. The normal values for calcaneal compression angles (mean is 31°, with a standard deviation of 4°, and a range from 24 to 44°) were used to divide the measurements in three predefined groups [23].…”

Objective:The aim of our study is to determine the normal ranges of the calcaneal parameters in the Indian population, and to compare the results with the data in the literature.Materials and Methods:The study was conducted at Coimbatore Medical College Hospital, Coimbatore on the feet (324 in number) of male and female Indian adults. Lateral view of the ankle was taken using a digital X-ray machine. Two parameters namely Bohler`s and Gissane angles were measured, independently by two radiologists to prevent inter-observer variation.Results:The Bohler`s and Gissane angles for the Indian population are statistically different from those seen in the published data for other population groups, as evidenced by the P value (P < 0.05).Conclusion:Calcaneal parameters specific to the Indian population have to be taken into consideration by the orthopedic surgeon to improve the standard of calcaneal fracture treatment in India.

“…[1][2][3] Several population studies have been performed examining Bohler's angle in normal uninjured subjects. 4,[7][8][9][10]11,16,20,23 Whereas these studies demonstrate consistency with individual side-by-side comparisons, variations in mean and range for Bohler's angle have been demonstrated in various ethnic populations. Bohler's angle is commonly quoted in the literature as a range from 20 to 40 degrees, and angles measured below this range have been demonstrated to have 99% specificity and 99% sensitivity for calcaneus fracture.…”
