Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A Boehler's angle of less than 28 degrees is abnormal. The Boehler's angle is measured on the lateral radiograph of the calcaneus bone and is formed by the intersection of two lines drawn along the superior aspect of the calcaneal tuberosity and the highest point of the posterior articular surface of the calcaneus. A decrease in the Boehler's angle indicates flattening or collapse of the longitudinal arch of the foot.
