    Sever's disease, a condition affecting the calcaneal apophysis, causes painful heels. While typically treated conservatively, surgery may be needed if the apophysis migrates.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Sports Medicine
    • Pediatric Podiatry

    Background:

    • Sever's disease is an apophysitis or osteochondrosis affecting the calcaneal apophysis.
    • It commonly presents with painful heels and restricted movement in children and adolescents.
    • Radiological findings include fissuring and fragmentation of the calcaneal apophysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical and radiological characteristics of Sever's disease.
    • To outline the typical treatment approaches for this condition.
    • To identify indications for surgical intervention.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical presentations of Sever's disease.
    • Analysis of radiological findings associated with calcaneal apophysitis.

  • Discussion of conservative and surgical treatment strategies.

    • Main Results:

    • Clinical symptoms include painful heels and limited range of motion.
    • Radiological evidence shows fissuring and fragmentation of the calcaneal apophysis.
    • Conservative management is the usual course of treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • Sever's disease is characterized by specific clinical and radiological signs.
    • Surgical treatment is considered when conservative measures fail or when apophyseal migration occurs.
    • Understanding these aspects aids in appropriate patient management.
