  • Title: A two-stage delayed surgical approach to salvaging Essex-Lopresti tongue type calcaneal fractures.
    Author: Knudsen HA, Sharon SM, Silberman J.
    Journal: J Foot Surg; 1984; 23(3):231-4. PubMed ID: 6736569.
    Abstract:
    Fractures of the calcaneus are one of the most challenging problems facing the podiatric physician today. Many attempts have been made to simplify this complex entity by categorizing calcaneal fractures and dictating treatment according to the fracture classification. However, it is now known that each calcaneal fracture injury must be given individual patient consideration for diagnosis and treatment. Included is a case presentation of a severe calcaneal fracture classified as an Essex-Lopresti tongue type with a discussion of the surgical management.
