- Calcaneal fractures are disruptions of the calcaneus bone, commonly caused by falls from heights. They represent 2% of all fractures and 60-75% are displaced intraarticular fractures. - Clinical features include pain, swelling, inability to bear weight, bruising, and restricted foot movement. X-rays can measure the Bohler's angle and critical angle of Gissane to determine fracture severity and displacement. - Treatment depends on fracture displacement and stability. Non-operative treatment involves rest, elevation, and gradual weight bearing for displaced fractures. Operative treatment with open reduction and internal fixation is recommended for significantly displaced or unstable fractures to restore anatomy and function.
