Reconstructive surgery for hindfoot, ankle, and leg deformities is facilitated by proper radiographic analysis. The long leg calcaneal axial and hindfoot alignment views have been proved to be useful in deformity planning at The Foot and Ankle Institute at The Western Pennsylvania Hospital. These radiographic views can be attained in an office setting or in any hospital radiology department. The details provided herein of this radiographic technique will be useful to physicians, office staff, and radiology technicians to facilitate proper imaging of hindfoot, ankle, and leg deformities.
