A novel approach to low-energy calcaneal tuberosity avulsion fractures in patients with fragile bone quality: A report of two cases
Maintaining reduction of a calcaneal tuberosity avulsion fracture is challenged by the powerful force exerted upon the bone fragment by the Achilles tendon. Low-demand, elderly patients with osteoporotic bone usually undergo a low-energy mechanism when this fracture pattern occurs. Likely attributab...
