In this article, we will discuss anterior process fractures of the calcaneus and bifurcation ligament injuries.
A fracture of the anterior process of the calcaneus is a fracture of the anterior process of the heel bone.
It is also a fracture of the anterior process of the heel bone, and is associated with the attached nibunculous ligament, which can lead to a cleavage fracture or ligament injury.
When does it happen?
It happens when the ankle is twisted so that the inside of the thumb points upward.
It is characterized by
Localized tenderness in a specific area.
If the pain and swelling persist for several weeks after the sprain, this disease should be suspected.The pain and swelling may persist for several weeks after an internal sprain, and can be diagnosed by X-ray imaging.
Case
17-year-old female
She fell on a step and twisted her left ankle.
She was unable to put weight on her left foot due to the pain, and had pain and swelling in the abdomen of her foot.
Examination revealed tenderness in the bifurcated ligament and a cleavage fracture of the anterior process of the calcaneus.
Conclusion
This is a symptom of a condition that can cause troublesome pain that lasts until it subsides.
In my clinical experience, non-surgical treatment was used, but it took 6~8 weeks for the patient to fully recover.Since ankle pain can be triggered by a sprain, this disease should be suspected in cases of ankle pain caused by a sprain.
Since the mechanism of injury is characteristic, it will be difficult to overlook if we can understand the situation at the time of injury.
