    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Orthopedics
    • Foot and Ankle Surgery
    • Skeletal Development

    Background:

    • Apophyseal injuries of the calcaneus are uncommon in pediatric populations.
    • Compound deformities involving multiple exostoses present unique surgical challenges.

    Observation:

    • A pediatric patient presented with a complex calcaneal deformity secondary to an apophyseal injury.
    • The deformity comprised three distinct exostoses, affecting the calcaneus structure.

    Findings:

    • Surgical intervention successfully corrected the compound calcaneal deformity.
    • The procedure included resection of the plantar exostosis and a closing wedge osteotomy of the calcaneal body.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights a successful surgical approach for complex calcaneal deformities in children.
