Aim: Boehler angle and Gissane angle was aimed to
determine in Turkish population aged between 18-79
years.
Materials and Methods: It is a retrospective study
Boehler angle and the Gissane angle measurements were
obtained from lateral ankle-foot radiographs taken from
236 healthy population.
Results: The significance wasn’t found in both two
angle parameters between gender (p=0.283 for the
Boehler angle; p=0.485 for the Gissane angle).
Additionally, according to age groups, there was a
decrease in Boehler angle from decade 1 to the decade
7, the Boehler’s angle increased again. Also, the Gissane
angle reached a maximum degree in the decade 7,
whereas the lowest value obtained in the decade 2.
Conclusion: There were a difference in calcaneal angle
reference values in terms of gender, race and age. The
knowledge of the calcaneal angles reference values can
provide an important data for clinicians, radiologist and
orthopedists with reference and normal values for
healthy population
