Objective: Haglund's Deformity is a variation of the posterosuperior region enlargement Os Calcaneus (OC) in form exostosis. It associated with Disease (HD), which encompasses Achilles tendinitis, retrocalcaneal bursitis, supra calcaneal and inflammation Kager fat pad. Diagnosis based on clinical findings radiological methods, such as lateral ankle radiographs, Computed Tomography (CT), Magneti...

Background Ankle and hindfoot malalignment is a common finding in patients suffering from post-traumatic ankle osteoarthritis. However, no studies have addressed the effect of concomitant foot deformities on intrinsic kinematics kinetics. Therefore, objective this study was to investigate kinetics multiple joints complex Methods Twenty-nine subjects with osteoarthritis participated study. Stand...

Osteoarticular tuberculosis represents 1.7-2% of all tuberculosis (TB). The localization in the foot is rare and accounts for less than 10% of osteoarticular TB. The following report describes the case of a 7-year-old boy who presented with a gradually increasing inflammatory swelling over the lateral aspect of the right ankle. An X-ray of his right ankle showed an osteolytic image at the calca...

BACKGROUND Intraosseous lipoma remains a poorly-characterized tumor. In paticular, the natural course of intracalcaneus lipoma after conservative treatment and the appropriate surgical modalities are still quite controversial. PATIENTS AND METHODS We reviewed six symptomatic patients who underwent curettage of intracalcaneus lipoma followed by grafting of α- or β-tricalcium phosphate. An endo...

Displaced, intra-articular fractures of the calcaneus represent a surgical challenge and the ideal choice of treatment remains a subject of continued debate. Open reduction and stable internal fixation without joint transfixation has been established as the standard treatment for most of these fractures with good to excellent results in more than two thirds of patients in larger clinical series...

We describe 24 fractures of the tuberosity of the calcaneus in 22 patients. Three were similar to the type of avulsion fracture which has been well-defined but the remainder represent a group which has been unrecognised previously. Using CT and operative findings we have defined the different patterns of fracture of the calcaneal tuberosity. Ten fractures extended into the subtalar joint, but d...
