  • Title: Postoperative fracture of os calcis and treatment.
    Author: Donohue T, Sorkin B, Kanat IO.
    Journal: J Foot Surg; 1987; 26(3):261-5. PubMed ID: 3611627.
    Abstract:
    The occurrence of fracture of the calcaneus after heel spur surgery can be a devastating complication requiring prompt treatment and strict patient compliance during the postoperative course. The literature contains little information regarding this type of injury. Several factors must be considered in assessing the etiology of the fracture, including injuries incurred, surgical procedures performed, and axial forces that have been applied to the calcaneus.
