From the case:
Calcaneal fracture
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/36791/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
Comminuted calcaneal fracture, which extends to the subtalar joint (Bohler angle = 14 degrees).
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/38200/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
Reduced Bohler's angle in a patient with a calcaneal fracture. The normal range for this angle is between 20 and 40 degrees. A reduced angle is a reliable sign of calcaneal fracture.
Case Discussion
Measuring Bohler angle is a useful adjunct when assessing for calcaneal fractures. Less than 20º is indicative of a fracture.
