The posterior aspect is rough and concavo-convex in shape. This convexity supports the fibroadipose tissue (Kager's fat pad) between the calcaneal tendon and the ankle joint. Calcaneus (inferior view) Middle aspect The middle aspect carries the posterior talar facet which is oval and convex in...
Current treatments of plantar fasciitis are based on the premise that the Achilles tendon (AT) and plantar fascia (PF) are mechanically directly linked, which is an area of debate. The aim of this study was to assess the morphological relationship between the AT and PF. Nineteen cadaveric ...
The posterior part of the calcaneus is circular, withthree facets (superior, middle and inferior). The superior facet is separated from the calcaneal tendon by the retrocalcaneal bursa. The middle facet provides the attachment site for the calcaneal tendon (Achilles tendon). What muscle inserts in...
Conclusion Calcaneal fracture–dislocation is a rare injury that is challenging to treat. Clinical manifestations such as fibular tendon dislocation, the doubleヾensity sign on profile radiography, and abnormal talar tilt in the distal talofibular joint are important signs that may indicate this rare ...
However, complications may also result from non-operative treatment, including incapacitating hindfoot malalignment (such as shortening, widening and varus angulation), subtalar arthrosis, peroneal tendon impingement, tibiotalar or fibulocalcaneal impingements and the technical difficulties of salvage ...
