[Roentgen diagnosis of fracture of the calcaneus with involvement of the lower ankle joint].

The prognosis and therapy of the fracture of the calcaneum largely depend on an involvement of the talo-calcaneonavicular joint. Incongruities and grated fractures in the region of the posterior joint facet are prognostically unfavourable but can be tackled by surgery. Standard X-ray films of the calcaneonavicular joint and of the tarsus do not offer sufficiently conclusive criteria. Oblique X-ray films with 60 degree internal and external rotation visualise the talo-calcaneonavicular joint almost free from overshadowing. The diagnostic value and technique of the standard and oblique X-ray films, as well as the topography of the joint facets under different projections, are demonstrated in this article by means of X-ray films of preparations and by case reports.

[Roentgeno-morphological study of the 1st metatarsal bone and the calcaneus on the material of archaeological excavations in Latvia].

In the investigation 183 first metatarsi and heel bones of ancient and contemporary people have been examined. It has been stated that the first metatarsi in contemporary people exceed in length those of ancient people. The thickness of substantia compacta of the first metatarsus, as well as the thickness of the tuber calcanei and lamina plantaris of the heel bones was more pronounced in ancient people than in contemporary people. Spongious trabeculae in ancient men were greater in number and thickness.
