Calcaneus fractures are severe injuries that can produce lifelong problems. Care taken during calcaneus fracture recovery influences the extent of recovery and restoration of foot function…
A calcaneus fracture is a heel bone fracture. The heel bone has the likeness of a hard boiled egg, as it has a thin, hard outer shell, and a soft, spongy bone on the inside. It takes a lot of stress for the calcaneus to fracture, and consequently, if the protective shell brakes, the bone is likely to collapse and become fragmented. The calcaneus bone has the important function of supporting the foot and making normal walking possible. The joint above the calcaneus, allows the foot to rotate inwards and outwards.
