  • Title: Posterior ankle impingement syndrome caused by malunion of joint depressed type calcaneal fracture.
    Author: Lui TH.
    Journal: Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc; 2008 Jul; 16(7):687-9. PubMed ID: 18320169.
    Abstract:
    Late complications after calcaneal fracture usually resulted in lateral heel pain. Malunion of joint depressed type calcaneal fracture can result in posterior ankle impingement pain. This is caused by the posterior calcaneal bone spike formed just behind the posterior calcaneal facet. We describe a technique to resect the offending posterior calcaneal bone spike to relieve the posterior ankle impingement pain.
