About Calcaneus fractures — also known Mp3 Sound Effect
Calcaneus fractures — also known as heel bone fractures — are complex injuries that often result from high-energy trauma. Here's a detailed breakdown: 🦴 Anatomy of the Calcaneus * Largest tarsal bone, forms the heel * Articulates with: * Talus (superiorly) → subtalar joint * Cuboid (anteriorly) * Acts as a weight-bearing and force-distribution bone * Includes: * Posterior tuberosity (Achilles tendon attachment) * Sustentaculum tali (medial shelf for talus) * Body, anterior process, and middle facet 🧨 Mechanism of Injury * High-energy axial load is the most common cause * E.g., fall from height, motor vehicle accident * Can also occur with low-energy twisting injuries in osteoporotic patients 🧩 Types of Calcaneus Fractures Fractures are classified as: 1. Intra-articular (≈75%) * Involve subtalar joint * Often displaced * Worse prognosis * Classified by Sanders classification (based on CT coronal views) 2. Extra-articular (≈25%) * Do not involve the subtalar joint * Includes: * Anterior process fracture * Tuberosity avulsion fracture * Sustentaculum tali fracture * Body fracture without joint involvement 📊 Sanders Classification (CT-Based) * For intra-articular fractures (posterior facet): * Type I: Non-displaced * Type II: Two-part fracture * Type III: Three-part fracture * Type IV: Comminuted (+3 fragments) Prognosis worsens with increasing Sanders type. 🩻 Diagnosis Clinical Exam: * Heel pain, swelling, ecchymosis * Inability to bear weight * Consider compartment syndrome (rare but serious) Imaging: * X-ray (lateral, axial, oblique) * Look for Böhler’s angle: * Normal: 20–40° * Flattened (less than 20°) = suggests fracture * CT scan: gold standard for classification, surgical planning 🛠️ Treatment Options Non-Operative: * Indicated for: * Non-displaced fractures * Extra-articular fractures * Low-demand patients * Method: Immobilization (boot/cast), non-weight bearing ~6–8 weeks Operative: * Indicated for: * Displaced intra-articular fractures * Open fractures * Sanders II or III (sometimes IV) * Method: ORIF (Open Reduction Internal Fixation) * Lateral extensile approach (standard) * Newer: Sinus tarsi approach, percutaneous fixation In severely comminuted cases (Sanders IV), subtalar fusion may be needed. ⏱️ Recovery Timeline * Weight bearing delayed for 8–12 weeks * PT starts early for range of motion * Return to work/sports: 4–6 months, depending on occupation * Full recovery may take up to 1 year ⚠️ Complications * Wound complications (especially with lateral extensile incision) * Post-traumatic arthritis * Subtalar stiffness * Malunion/malalignment (loss of heel height or varus deformity) * Chronic pain * Compartment syndrome (rare, check for tense swelling, neurovascular signs) #CalcaneusFracture #HeelFracture #Orthopedics #FootAndAnkle #TraumaSurgery #ORIF #SubtalarJoint #Foot #OrthopedicSurgeon #BoneFracture #SurgicalRecoveryCalcaneus Fractures — Also Known Sound Effects Free Download.
