Of these, 60% are calcaneus fractures. The heel bone is often injured in a high-energy collision where other parts of the skeleton are also injured. In up to 10% of cases, the patient can also sustain a fracture of the spine, hip, or the other calcaneus.
As a rule, the greater the impact, the more the calcaneus is damaged. In a high-energy fracture, other injuries, such as fractures of the spine, hip, or other heel, can occur. (Left) In some injuries, the talus is forced downward and acts like a wedge to fracture the calcaneus.
