Bilateral spontaneous avulsion fractures of the calcaneus in a diabetic patient: a case report.
A 29-year-old woman with a diabetic peripheral neuropathy sustained bilateral spontaneous avulsion fractures of the calcaneus. Although overlooked on the initial radiographs, both fractures healed with a brief period of casting. This lesion should be distinguished from osteomyelitis involving the calcaneus.
