LATE POST-TRAUMATIC COMPRESSION OF THE OS CALCIS

LATE POST-TRAUMATIC COMPRESSION OF THE OS CALCIS In going through the literature on fractures of the os calcis, I find no reference to a traumatic entity which appeals to me to be of great importance; especially so in industrial cases and litigation in connection with them or malpractice suits.

Abstract

In going through the literature on fractures of the os calcis, I find no reference to a traumatic entity which appeals to me to be of great importance; especially so in industrial cases and litigation in connection with them or malpractice suits. This I will term "post-traumatic calcaneitis." During the last few years I have seen in consultation cases of trauma to the os calcis, caused by falls on the heel, in which the patient fell from 5 to 10 feet, in which the physical examination and roentgenogram showed no bony or other pathologic changes at the time of injury, but that subsequently developed a severe condition, which I will describe later.
