Schematic illustrates the Sanders classification of intraarticular fractures of the calcaneus in coronal and axial CT cross-sections with the widest undersurface of the posterior facet of the talus. Fracture lines A, B, and C describe the position of the primary fracture line in relation to the posterior facet and the subtalar joint. Type 1 fractures are minimally displaced and are not depicted.
