About 2% of all fractures are calcaneal fractures. [2] However, they make up 60% of fractures of the mid foot bones. [2] Undisplaced fractures may heal in around three months while more significant fractures can take two years. [1] Difficulties such as arthritis and decreased range of motion of the foot may remain.

Once a career ender. To understand how devastating an Achilles tear once was for an elite athlete, you only have to go back about 15 years. On a Monday night in 2006, the injury waylaid a three ...
A calcaneal spur (also known as a heel spur) is a bony outgrowth from the calcaneal tuberosity (heel bone). [1] Calcaneal spurs are typically detected by x-ray examination. [2] It is a form of exostosis. When a foot is exposed to constant stress, calcium deposits build up on the bottom of the heel bone. Generally, this has no effect on a person ...
Remodeling begins as early as three to four weeks after fracture and may take 3 to 5 years to complete. [4] The process substitutes the trabecular bone with compact bone. The trabecular bone is first resorbed by osteoclasts, creating a shallow resorption pit known as a "Howship's lacuna". Then osteoblasts deposit compact bone within the ...

[7] Sever published The Principles of Orthopaedic Surgery in 1940 through the Macmillan Company. Sever described it as an apophyseal injury ...
Chopart's fracture–dislocation is a dislocation of the mid-tarsal (talonavicular and calcaneocuboid) joints of the foot, often with associated fractures of the calcaneus, cuboid and navicular. [ 1 ]
However, if that cannot be done, decision to pop the blisters in order to treat the fracture or wait for them to heal first usually hinges on the preferences of the orthopaedic surgeon as there is a lack of data on what treatment is ideal. [3] Waiting delays care an average of 7 days, and longer for tibial plateau and calcaneal fractures ...
