Calcaneal fracture-dislocation with entrapment of the medial neurovascular bundle: a case report.
The calcaneus is the most commonly fractured of all the tarsal bones. Soft-tissue interposition, usually involving the peroneal tendons, has been reported to block reduction of calcaneal fractures and subtalar dislocations. To our knowledge, no case of entrapment of the neurovascular bundle has been reported. This is the subject of our report.
