Figures & data

Figure 1. The posterior talo-calcaneal (PTC) joint facet marked on 3 D reconstruction image of calcaneus (the color indicates the shortest distance (in mm) to the corresponding structure of the talus). The same color scale was used for every observation.

A color scale of the distances was used in place of a color scale of the angles, to avoid influencing observer decision.

Figure 2. The marked joint facet is divided into small triangular meshes, each mesh has a single normal vector.

Meshes are drawn in yellow color for visualization of the triangles network.
