1 lut 2024 · Calcaneal tuberosity avulsion fracture, an extra-articular injury, is a rare fracture caused internally by Achilles tendon driven following intense contraction of gastrocnemius-soleus complex, and externally by low-energy (possibly high-energy).
27 sie 2024 · Calcaneal tuberosity, also known as the heel bone, plays an important role in foot mechanics and is often the site of various injuries and conditions. Given its significance, accurate imaging is essential for diagnosing and treating calcaneal tuberosity issues.

The plantar surface of the calcaneal tuberosity projects anteriorly forming two bony projections known as the medial and lateral processes. These are separated by a V-shaped notch.
12 sie 2013 · In this study, we retrospectively analyzed 15 cases of avulsion fracture of the calcaneal tuberosity in order to summarize the surgical strategies for this fracture and to analyze the reasons and countermeasure of postoperative implant failure and wound complications.
1 lis 2020 · A sudden contraction in elderly patients may generate avulsion fracture of the posterior tubercle of the calcaneus due to poor bone quality or rupture of the tendon, with one of these two structures yielding in most cases.
6 dni temu · Calcaneus fractures are the most common fractured tarsal bone and are associated with a high degree of morbidity and disability. Diagnosis is made radiographically with foot radiographs with CT scan often being required for surgical planning.
