Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Biometrics
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Calcaneus volume estimation is challenging, with limited existing studies.
  • Accurate volume measurement is crucial for anatomical and clinical applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a formula for approximating calcaneus volume using plain radiographs.
  • To establish a practical method for calcaneus volume calculation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized 216 dry adult calcanei from Anatolia.
  • Calculated volumes via Archimedes' water displacement method.
  • Measured multiple dimensions from lateral and axial radiographs, including lengths, heights, and widths.
  • Derived the formula using a multiple linear regression model with Python 3.12.

Main Results:

  • The mean calcaneus volume was 55.8 mL (SD 11.7 mL).
  • A multiple linear regression model yielded the formula: Volume (mL) = 0.96 × max AP l (mm) + 0.40 × max body l (mm) - 0.29 × body h (mm) + 0.76 × min body h (mm) + 0.14 × max post w (mm) + 0.48 × min post w (mm) - 7.49.
  • This formula provides an approximate calcaneus volume based on radiographic measurements.

Conclusions:

  • The derived formula offers a viable method for estimating calcaneus volume.
  • The methodology can be applied to similar studies on dry bone specimens.
