    PubMed
    Summary

    A radiolucent canal was found on the medial plantar surface of the calcaneus in six patients. This anatomical variant, a vascular canal, has no clinical significance.

    Area of Science:

    • Podiatric medicine
    • Anatomical imaging
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • The calcaneus, or heel bone, is susceptible to various anatomical variations.
    • Understanding normal anatomical variants is crucial for accurate radiological interpretation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a specific radiolucent finding in the calcaneus.
    • To determine the clinical significance of this finding.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of radiographic images.
    • Identification of a canal-like radiolucency on the medial plantar surface of the calcaneus.

    Main Results:

    • A canal-like radiolucency was observed in six patients.
    • This finding was consistently located on the medial plantar aspect of the calcaneus.

    Conclusions:

    • The observed radiolucency represents a vascular canal.
    • This anatomical variant is of no clinical significance in the evaluated patients.
