Normal Böhler angle.
Case Discussion
The Böhler angle is measured between a line drawn from the highest point of the anterior process of the calcaneus to the highest point of the posterior facet and a line drawn tangential to the superior edge of the tuberosity and the posterior facet.
The normal angle is between 20º and 40º. An angle less than 20º is suggestive of a calcaneal fracture.
