Abstract
Calcaneus fracture is frequently traumatic injuries that result from an axial force either from a fall from height or from a motor vehicle accident. Fractures are classified as either intra- articular, extra-articular, or as involving the anterior process. The Sanders classification is commonly utilized to further classify fractures based off of CT scans. Treatment usually is operative and involves open reduction internal fixation, though certain fractures can be treated nonoperatively with immobilization and protected weight bearing.
