Regazzoni classification for the Calcaneal fracture
The Regazzoni classification is used for the intraarticular calcaneal fractures evaluations affecting the posterior facet of the calcaneus.
This Regazzoni classification is based on the number and location of the intraarticular fractures using the semicoronal CT images as follow:
The Regazzoni classification differs from other CT based classifications because it evaluates intra-articular fractures, extra-articular fractures and the calcaneocuboid joint. Therefore, it is more accurate in detecting the lesions.
