A novel method to perform morphological measurements on three-dimensional (3D) models of the calcaneus based on computed tomography (CT)-imaging

While current preoperative and postoperative assessment of the fractured and surgically reconstructed calcaneus relies on computed tomography (CT)-imaging, there are no established methods to quantify calcaneus morphology on CT-images. This study aims to develop a semi-automated method for morphological measurements of the calcaneus on three-dimensional (3D) models derived from CT-imaging.
