Novel Techniques in Treating Calcaneal Tuberosity Fractures
Calcaneal tuberosity fractures comprise only 1 to 2% of all calcaneal fractures. Treatment of these injuries has traditionally included open reduction and internal fixation with various means including lag screws, suture anchors and K-wires. We report on a series of cases treated with excision of the tuberosity frag ment with repair of the Achilles tendon supplemented by a flexor hallucis longu...
متن کاملCalcaneal fractures in children.
Calcaneal fractures are rare in children but frequent in adults. We report 18 cases (20 feet) of pediatric calcaneal fractures before the distal tibial growth line closed to assess the characteristics of pediatric calcaneal fractures and reveal differences in treatment and prognosis between children and adults. Twelve (60%) of the fractures were extraarticular, a higher percentage than in adult...
متن کاملPediatric calcaneal fractures
Although operative treatment of displaced, intra-articular fractures of the calcaneus in adults is generally accepted as standard practice, operative treatment for the same fractures in the skeletally immature remains controversial, potentially because the outcome for fracture types (intra- vs. extra-articular) and severity (displaced vs. nondisplaced) have been confounded in studies of childre...
متن کاملAvulsion fracture of the calcaneal tuberosity: diagnosis and treatment.
Avulsion calcaneal tuberosity fracture is an uncommon but potentially serious condition, with delays in treatment sometimes leading to long-term pain, disability and functional limitation. In this article, the authors refer to a case study of a patient with a fractured calcaneal tuberosity and multiple metatarsal fractures. They also discuss the results of a literature review of fracture patter...
متن کاملAvulsion Fracture of the Calcaneal Tuberosity: Classification and Its Characteristics
BACKGROUND Not much is known regarding avulsion fractures of the calcaneal tuberosity. We propose a modified classification scheme that presents the four types of calcaneal avulsion fracture as described by surgical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, and evaluation of their specific features. METHODS Out of 764 cases of calcaneal fractures, we examined 20 cases (2.6%) that involve...
