On a lateral radiograph, an angle of Gissane of > 130deg suggests fracture of the posterior subtalar joint surface.o Bohler's angle, or "Tuber Angle", is another normal anatomic landmark seen in lateral radiographs. It is formed by the intersection of (I) a line from the highest point of the posterior articular facet to the highest point of the posterior tuberosity', and (2) a line from the former to the highest point on the anterior articular facet. An angle < 20deg suggests a depression posterior facet and possible calcaneal fracture.
