“…49 The Essex-Lopresti classification is an alternative scheme that divides fractures into joint depression, "tongue-type" (where the tuberosity fragment is attached to the articular fragment), and comminuted categories. 48 Sustentaculum tali fractures are usually a component of more complex central calcaneal fractures, although isolated fractures are frequently complicated by nonunion and flexor hallucis longus tendon injury. 50 Management of intra-articular calcaneal fractures is a continuing topic of active research and debate.…”

“…Patients with diabetes, smokers, and those with open injuries have higher rates of perioperative infection. 48 Postoperative nonunion is a rare entity, with only a handful of case reports. 54 Both operatively and nonoperatively treated patients are at risk for malunion and subtalar arthrosis that may necessitate salvage interventions such as lateral wall resection, subtalar arthrodesis, peroneal tenolysis, or calcaneal osteotomy.…”

Radiologists should be familiar with basic principles of fracture fixation and the normal imaging appearances of implant constructs and their complications. The surgeon's selection of external fixation, intramedullary nail fixation, open reduction and internal fixation, or some combination depends on patient factors, fracture configuration, injury to the soft tissue envelope, and surgeon experience. Complications including loss of fixation with resultant malalignment, nonunion, infection, and posttraumatic osteoarthritis present additional challenges for the surgeon as well as the radiologist. This article reviews the rationale behind fracture fixation in fractures of the lower leg, ankle, and foot. Examples of postoperative complications are also reviewed.

“…The evaluation of calcaneus fractures and determination of the effect of treatment essentially uses three types of imaging techniques: X-ray CT, and MRI [ 11 – 15 ]. Although X-ray study (radiography) remains the method of choice for the initial assessment of fracture [ 16 , 17 ], CT imaging has become the current state-of-art in diagnostics of calcaneus fractures [ 18 – 20 ]. An invaluable advantage of CT is the possibility of reconstructing the scanned object.…”

Statistical, Morphometric, Anatomical Shape Model (Atlas) of Calcaneus

et al. 2015

The aim was to develop a morphometric and anatomically accurate atlas (statistical shape model) of calcaneus. The model is based on 18 left foot and 18 right foot computed tomography studies of 28 male individuals aged from 17 to 62 years, with no known foot pathology. A procedure for automatic atlas included extraction and identification of common features, averaging feature position, obtaining mean geometry, mathematical shape description and variability analysis. Expert manual assistance was included for the model to fulfil the accuracy sought by medical professionals. The proposed for the first time statistical shape model of the calcaneus could be of value in many orthopaedic applications including providing support in diagnosing pathological lesions, pre-operative planning, classification and treatment of calcaneus fractures as well as for the development of future implant procedures.

Structural characteristics, biomechanics and clinical significance of calcar femorale: A review

The calcar femorale, first identified by Merkel in 1874, plays a pivotal role in the weight-bearing capacity of the proximal femur, and its structural integrity is crucial for the efficient distribution of mechanical loads. Originating at the vertical ridge where the pubofemoral ligament anchors, this bony prominence extends laterally behind the neutral axis from the medial to lateral aspects. Its presence is not merely an anatomical curiosity but significantly influences the biomechanics of the hip joint by providing additional strength and support against compressive forces encountered during activities such as walking or jumping. Despite its clear description in orthopedic texts, misconceptions persist about its exact function and importance. This article delves into the nuanced anatomy and biomechanical properties of the calcar femorale, offering a detailed literature-based examination that demonstrates its relevance in clinical practice. The review highlights how the robustness of the calcar femorale contributes to the prevention of femoral neck fractures as well as the stabilization of hip prostheses. Furthermore, the indispensable role of the calcar femorale in surgical outcomes is discussed, especially in the context of fracture repair and joint replacement, thus illustrating its enduring significance in contemporary medical applications.
