The hindfoot alignment view is a specialized, weight-bearing radiographic view that examines the hindfoot alignment as part of a foot and ankle instability investigation.
Equipment required:
upright detector stand or upright detector (seen in white on the diagram)
radiolucent stand for the patient to stand on that can fit a detector underneath (blue)
20 degree beam (red)
The long axial hindfoot alignment view is a specialized, weight-bearing radiographic view that examines the hindfoot alignment as part of a foot and ankle instability investigation.
No special equipment is required. The red line in the diagram indicates the beam.
Case Discussion
This is a case series demonstrating how one would perform these projections from the reference point of a lateral foot.
The hindfoot alignment view is a specialized, weight-bearing radiographic view that examines the hindfoot alignment as part of a foot and ankle instability investigation.
The long axial view requires no equipment and has higher inter-observer reliability when measuring angular hindfoot alignment.
