Background
Methods
CT axial plane | (1) Distances from the dorsal tangential plane to the points of entry of the nutrient arteries into the second, third, and fourth metatarsals |
(2) Distances from the plantar tangential plane to the points of entry of the nutrient arteries into the second, third, and fourth metatarsals | |
CT coronal plane | (3) Distances from the distal epiphysis to the points of entry of the nutrient arteries into the second, third and fourth metatarsals |
(4) Distances from the proximal epiphysis to the points of entry of the nutrient arteries into the second, third and fourth metatarsals |
