Fractures of the calcaneus.
Fractures of the calcaneus account for approximately 60 per cent of all tarsal injuries and 1 to 2 per cent of all diagnosed fractures. The length of treatment and rehabilitation and disability has a marked effect on the working population. This helps to explain the great disparity in the classification and treatment of calcaneal fractures.
