Abstract
- Fractures of the calcaneus have received much attention because a large number involve the subtalar joint. Avulsion fracture of the tuberosity of the calcaneus is rare injury, and it is reported that the avulsion of the calcaneal tuberosity accounted for less than 1 % of these injuries. We have experienced two cases of avulsion of the calcaneal tuberosity and report these cases.
