Dorsoplantar projectional radiograph of the foot showing the measurement of the talonavicular coverage angle.
Weight-bearing lateral X-ray showing the measurement of calcaneal pitch, which is an angle of the calcaneus and the inferior aspect of the foot, with different sources giving different reference points. Calcaneal pitch is increased in pes cavus, with cutoffs ranging from 20° to 32°.
Same lateral X-ray showing the measurement of Meary's angle, which is the angle between the long axis of the talus and first metatarsal bone. This example is slightly convex downward. An angle greater than 4° convex upward is considered pes cavus.
