ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this study is to provide Korean data on heel pad thickness according to age, gender, underlying disease, occupation, and body mass index (BMI). MATERIALS AND

METHODS:

A retrospective study was conducted on 670 patients who underwent foot lateral plain radiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) between January 2010 and July 2014. Through measurements of heel pad thickness, the usefulness and accuracy of foot lateral plain radiography was evaluated, and the mean Korean heel pad thickness in the weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing conditions was also evaluated according to age, gender, underlying disease, occupation, and BMI.

RESULTS:

The 670 subjects with a mean age of 44 years (range, 12 to 84 years) consisted of 420 males and 250 females. The difference in heel pad thickness between non-weight-bearing foot lateral plain radiography and MRI was 0.69 mm. The heel pad thickness did not show a significant difference with age (p=0.08) and the presence of diabetes (p=0.09). With the increase in the Tegner score, the thickness of the heel pad increased (p=0.035), and subjects with a higher BMI had a thicker heel pad (p=0.03). The compressibility of the heel pad thickness showed no correlation with gender, diabetes, and Tegner score. Compressibility also increased with the increase in age and body weight.

CONCLUSION:

The mean Korean heel pad thickness measured through non-weight-bearing foot lateral plain radiography was 18.79 mm. The heel pad thickness increased with increasing BMI; however, age and diabetes did not show significant correlation. The compressibility of heel pad increased with the increase in age.
