title: [A woman with a painful ankle after a sprain].
abstract: A 70-year-old woman presented with symptoms resembling an Achilles tendon rupture. Careful examination revealed a large avulsion fracture of the calcaneal tuberosity. Successful screw osteosynthesis of this tongue-type fracture was performed. Such careful examination is paramount to prevent one from missing this fracture.
