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.

After the war he worked as a consultant surgeon at the Birmingham Accident Hospital, where he reorganized the postgraduate training program. He was awarded a Hunterian Professorship in 1951, and his Hunterian Lecture, given on 6 March 1951, was "The Mechanism, Reduction Technique, and Results in Fractures of Os Calcis."
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 ...
Normally the tibia sits vertically above the calcaneus (pes rectus). If the calcaneal axis between these two bones is turned medially the foot is in an everted position (pes valgus), and if it is turned laterally the foot is in an inverted position (pes varus).

The 40-year-old “Day ‘N’ Nite” rapper, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, announced the news April 24 on X, explaining that he had broken the calcaneus bone in his heel, which would require ...
The calcaneocuboid joint may be affected by a calcaneal fracture. [4] This may be a sign of a worse fracture, associated with worse outcomes (such as osteoarthritis ) after treatment. [ 4 ]
A bone fracture (abbreviated FRX or Fx, F x, or #) is a medical condition in which there is a partial or complete break in the continuity of any bone in the body. In more severe cases, the bone may be broken into several fragments, known as a comminuted fracture. [1]
