A fracture of the calcaneus is a break (fracture) of the heel (calcaneus), which is the largest bone in the foot. The calcaneus maintains and supports the lateral column of the foot and provides a stable, but accommodating, foundation for body weight. It is also important in propelling the foot forward during walking.
