Imaging of calcaneal fractures

Abstract:
The radiologic evaluation of injuries to the calcaneus begins with plain x-rays. The addition of special views may be necessary as part of the preliminary evaluation to assist in the diagnosis or in further delineating the extent of the fracture. CT scanning is generally required for preoperative planning when there is extensive comminution and/or intra-articular involvement. MRI has a limited role in the treatment of calcaneus fractures.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
