Correct Answer » A
Explanation
|
|
The angle shown in the picture above represents bohler’s angle.
In bohler’s angle the lines are drawn tangent to the anterior and posterior aspects of the superior calcaneus. The normal value for this angle is between 20 to 40 degrees.
A value less than 20 degrees can be seen in calcaneal fracture. However, a normal Böhler angle does not exclude a calcaneal fracture.
