BackgroundDisplaced intraarticular calcaneus fracture indicates surgical treatment. The current trend is open reduction and internal fixation with a plate or multiple screws through the sinus tarsi approach. Most postoperative protocols are prolonged non-weight bearing that causes a high socioeconomic ...
HAA, also called the varus/valgus of the calcaneus or the heel valgus or the hindfoot coronal alignment, has been largely used to characterize deformities flatfoot patients. HAA should be measured in weight-bearing, i.e. in single- or double-leg upright posture25. Classical assessments in thi...
Workflow of the image post-processing. (1) Weight-bearing clinical CT images of the entire foot in inversion, neutral and eversion positions. (2) Semi-automatic active contour segmentation of the individual bone in the subtalar joint. (3) The calcaneus in the rotated positions (inversion/eversi...
The present study demonstrates strong and significant correlation between some of the load bearing variables and suggests the need for further investigations to understand the effect of angular aspects of axial loading on the calcaneus. Accounting for the relative distribution of weight across the ...

Adiposity was measured by bioelectric impedance and BMD by single-photon (proximal and distal radius and calcaneus) and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (lumbar spine and proximal femur). Age-adjusted associations between weight and BMD were robust at all sites (R2 = 5.9-20.4%), but the ...
Both dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and peripheral quantitative computed tomography were used to monitor changes in bone mineral density. Results RVE significantly prevented bone loss at multiple skeletal sites, including calcaneus, distal tibia, hip, and lumbar spine (L2–L4). The ratio of ...
