  • Title: Simplifying the complicated heel-an emergency imaging approach to calcaneal fractures.
    Author: Saxena S, Yadav T, Khera PS, Jha S.
    Journal: Emerg Radiol; 2021 Jun; 28(3):641-649. PubMed ID: 33492528.
    Abstract:
    The calcaneum is the most inferior and largest tarsal bone and supports the axial load of the weight of the body. Calcaneal fractures formulate 60% of the tarsal fractures and are frequently encountered in almost all trauma centres. It becomes imperative to understand and report calcaneal fractures in a structured fashion for better clinical and treatment outcomes for the patients. Radiologists should be well acquainted with calcaneal fractures and their various classifications and should develop an algorithmic approach for diagnosing and reporting heel fractures.
