Fractures can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life and mobility. Identification and treatment are crucial to successful recovery. Therefore, it is essential that people are aware of the importance of identifying and treating any type of fracture as soon as possible, guaranteeing a successful recovery.
Calcaneal bone, what is it and what happens if it fractures?
The calcaneus, also known as the heel bone, is the largest bone in the human foot. It is located on the back of the foot and is essential for maintaining balance and supporting body weight when walking or running.
A fracture of the calcaneus is usually the result of trauma such as falls from significant heights or traffic accidents. When the heel bone fractures, a series of consequences can occur that affect both the mobility and well-being of the individual.
Symptoms of a heel bone fracture
The symptoms of a calcaneal fracture can vary depending on the severity of the injury and the patient. Common signs to watch for include:
- Severe heel pain: Acute and severe pain may be experienced at the back or bottom of the heel.
- Inflammation: The affected area may show swelling or redness.
- Difficulty supporting weight: Difficulty putting weight on the affected foot may occur.
- Touch sensitivity: The affected heel area is extremely sensitive to touch.
- Visible deformity: In some cases, deformity may be observed in the back of the foot.
It is essential to seek immediate medical attention in the presence of these symptoms. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are essential for a successful recovery.
Sequelae after a calcaneal fracture
The consequences of a calcaneal fracture can be varied and often affect the patient's mobility and quality of life. The most common sequelae after a calcaneal fracture include:
- Chronic pain- Many people experience persistent heel pain, even after the fracture has healed.
- Stiffness and loss of mobility: The ankle joint can become stiff and limit the mobility of the foot.
- Change in way of walking: Due to limitations in mobility, the patient may have to modify their way of walking causing problems in other areas of the body
- Possible development of arthritis: Calcaneal fractures can increase the risk of developing arthritis in the ankle joint.
- Impact on quality of life: The consequences can affect the ability to carry out daily activities and sports, having a significant impact on quality of life.
Treatments for heel bone fracture
Treatment of a calcaneal fracture depends on the severity of the injury. Some approaches used to treat this type of fracture include:
- Immobilization: In less severe cases, you may choose to immobilize the foot with a cast or orthopedic boot to allow healing.
- Surgery: In more complex fractures, surgery may be necessary to realign and fix the bone. It is essential that the surgery be performed by specialists who can guarantee an optimal result.
It is important to note that treatment and recovery from a calcaneal fracture can take time, and patience is essential for a successful recovery.
Importance of going to a clinic specialized in calcaneal fracture surgery
Going to a clinic specialized in calcaneal fracture surgery is essential to ensure the highest quality healthcare. These clinics, equipped with cutting-edge technology, enable accurate diagnosis and offer effective surgical treatments. This not only significantly improves recovery prospects, but also ensures that each patient receives care tailored to their specific needs.
What happens if the heel bone fracture is not operated on?
Failure to perform calcaneal fracture surgery can lead to a series of significant consequences for the patient, including:
- Chronic pain: The patient may suffer from persistent heel pain, which can affect their quality of life and ability to perform daily activities.
- Mobility limitation: The ankle joint may become stiff and the ability to move the foot may be significantly restricted.
- Deformity: An untreated fracture can cause deformity in the foot and ankle, potentially affecting foot function.
- Increased risk of arthritis: Lack of proper treatment can increase the risk of developing arthritis in the ankle joint, which involves long-term chronic pain and inflammation.
Recovery after calcaneal surgery
Recovery after heel bone surgery is a gradual process that requires commitment and patience on the part of the patient. The duration of recovery varies significantly depending on the severity of the fracture and the type of surgery, sometimes extending over several months. It is essential that the patient comply with scheduled medical visits and carefully follow the instructions provided by professionals. Consistency in following treatment and cooperation are key elements to recover full functionality of the foot and ensure a better quality of life.

Hello Carlos Alberto,
The recovery time for a calcaneus fracture can vary depending on the severity of the fracture and how the healing process is progressing. In some cases, conservative treatment with a cast may be sufficient, but in others surgery may be necessary to ensure optimal recovery.
We recommend that you speak with your treating physician to learn about your recovery progress and any changes to your treatment plan. Each case is unique, so it is important that you receive a detailed evaluation. If you would like a second opinion, you can schedule an appointment with our specialists so they can evaluate your case in detail and determine the most appropriate approach.

First of all, I apologize for touching on a subject that is not a fracture, but I am somewhat concerned about the MRI diagnosis. It referred to a "large bone infarction in the calcaneus" and I find little information. I would like to know whether or not it is not serious. Obviously I will consult with an expert, but it will take more than 15 days.
Thanks in advance
Hello Jorge,
Don't worry, it's understandable that you're worried. A "large calcaneal bone infarction" indicates significant damage to the bone due to lack of blood flow. It has different degrees and if not treated in time it can be serious.
We hope everything goes well.

Hello, I have a fracture of the calcaneus with slight comminution of the anterior process displaced into several bone fragments. Is surgery necessary? They put a cast on me and I've been in it for a month. They tell me that it will be treated with just the cast. Could you tell me if it requires surgery or not? The doctor who is handling the case is new to her field. The fracture was caused by a grade 3 sprain with swelling and bruising.
I await your response
Good morning Antonina,
Mildly comminuted calcaneus fractures can be treated without surgery if there is no significant displacement. If the bone fragments are well aligned and healing, casting may be sufficient. However, if you have any doubts, seek a second opinion to confirm the appropriate treatment.

Hello, it's been a month and a half since I had a fracture in my heel. I had all the studies and plates done and I still can't walk. My entire foot was swollen and even now there are days when my feet burn. I want to know what degree of complications I have.
Hello Jorge,
A broken heel can take months to heal completely, and swelling or a burning sensation can be indicative of a scarring process or persistent inflammation. If after a month and a half you still can't walk and have these symptoms, it's important to see your doctor again to evaluate possible complications, such as poor healing or nerve damage. Additional follow-up with further testing may be necessary.
Cheers

Hello, good afternoon. My question is that I had surgery on my calcaneus bone and they put a screw in because my feet are flat and it was becoming deformed. I have been operated on for 3 weeks and it is not known when I can put my foot on the ground because it hurts a lot.
Thank you, one day greetings
Hello Esther,
Good afternoon. After heel surgery, the time to bear weight on your foot varies depending on the severity of the deformity and individual recovery. Generally, it is recommended to keep your foot off the ground for the first few weeks, and pain is common in this initial phase. However, it is best to consult your surgeon directly for specific instructions on when and how to safely begin bearing weight on your foot, based on your progress.
Greetings!
Good afternoon, a year ago I broke my calcaneus, cuboid and scaphoid. They didn't operate on me and they did the conservative method. I developed bone edema, some dystrophy and a Morton's neuroma. They are treating the Morton's neuroma, but the problem is that when I walk or have my foot supported, my heel hurts a lot and I feel like it's blocked. I don't know if it's normal. They did an MRI on me and they say everything is fine. Thank you.

Hello, 4 months ago I broke my heel bone due to a fall from a height. The fracture was serious and I had surgery 3 weeks later. I spent 8 weeks without putting weight on my foot and then I started physiotherapy and began to walk using a walker boot and crutches and later using my shoes. The thing is that my toes have become a bit claw-shaped and I can't stretch them, only if I force them with my hand but when walking it is somewhat annoying. My foot also hurts when walking in the part where I have the plate and near the toes, which makes me limp a little. Is this normal? They told me it could be because I don't have strength in my foot but I'm worried about not being able to walk normally.
What could it be with the fingers? We have tried doing exercises with the physiotherapist but they are still the same…
Hello Thais,
Stiff toes and pain when walking are common after severe fractures and heel surgery. Claw toes may be due to muscle imbalance or lack of mobility. Continue physical therapy to improve strength and flexibility. See your doctor to evaluate the plaque and persistent symptoms.

Foot. I want to know if I can support myself with the tip of my foot and if that does not affect the consolidation of the heel because I have already despaired with the crutches and I want to know if I can drive.
Hello Raul,
We recommend that you consult with the specialist who is following your case so that he can evaluate your situation in more detail. It is important to assess how your recovery is going and whether it is appropriate to start supporting yourself with the balls of your feet, since this could affect the consolidation of the heel. Each case is unique, so it is essential that your doctor evaluates your progress and gives you the necessary guidance.
Greetings.
Good morning, 6 months ago I had surgery on both heels. I am doing very well, I walk well, but my left foot is still oozing. The question is how long can it ooze and if it is a matter of time before it stops oozing. I have no information of any kind according to the studies.
Hello Daniel Alfredo,
It is essential to carry out a more detailed evaluation of your situation, as recovery time can vary depending on factors such as the healing process and the type of intervention performed. We suggest that you consult with your surgeon or a specialist so that they can examine your case in depth and determine whether the suppuration is part of the normal recovery process or if any additional treatment is required.

Good evening, I had a displaced calcaneus fracture, the orthopedists only put a cast on me, my question is if the displaced bone can be glued back together, thank you 🫂
Hello Luis,
Depending on the severity of the displacement, the bone may be able to heal with a cast if the displacement is not too significant. However, in cases of displaced fractures, surgery is sometimes required to realign the bone fragments and ensure proper healing.
To determine if a cast is sufficient for your case, our trauma specialists should evaluate your studies and x-rays. If you would like a second opinion, do not hesitate to schedule an appointment with our team.
Greetings.
Hello, 5 weeks ago I fell down some stairs. They told me that I have a fracture line on the anterolateral edge of the calcaneus that affects the articular surface with the cuboid and bone edema in the rest of the mentioned locations. I have the cast, they told me that I wouldn't need surgery, but I'm worried that I won't be able to walk like before. What are the consequences and if the cast is enough, how long does the recovery take? When will I be able to walk? Thank you.
Hello Elena,
The evolution of a fracture in the calcaneus can vary depending on the severity and the response of the bone to immobilization. If you have been told that surgery is not necessary, a cast is usually sufficient to promote bone consolidation, but the recovery time will depend on each case. It is advisable to follow medical instructions, avoid putting weight on the foot until authorized and carry out rehabilitation when appropriate to regain mobility and strength.
If you would like a more detailed evaluation of your case, you can schedule an appointment with our specialists by calling (+34) 910 05 39 00.

Hello,
My case was in 2014.
I broke my heel bone (diagnosed three months after I had a cast on it due to a tibia fracture), so they didn't operate on me; it had solidified, with its consequences. Arthritis, heel displacement...
Another physiotherapist I consulted later told me that my heel bone is displaced and that some bones tend to touch, hence the pain when doing certain activities, such as walking too far. The ultimate goal would be surgery when I can no longer bear the pain. Sometimes the pain is bearable, and I've even walked for miles, but other times I can't even manage and I tend to take more and more painkillers.
Is there any remedy I could try before undergoing this operation, which I would not like to undergo as it would further restrict my movement?
Thank you
Esther

Hello, I broke my calcaneus two years ago. I had surgery and a plate and several screws were placed. After 9 months, they removed the plate because it seemed to be the cause of the pain I had. However, to this day I am still in a lot of pain. Especially when I walk and put my toes in the ankle area, it hurts a lot.
Is it normal to have pain two years after surgery?
Hello Jose,
Thank you for sharing your experience. After a calcaneal fracture and surgery, some people may continue to experience discomfort, especially if there are joint sequelae or gait disturbances.

Good evening, three years ago I fell from a second-floor apartment and broke the heel bone in my right foot. I had surgery to reconstruct my right heel. However, my ankle and heel are swollen, and I still walk with a limp. I can't stand for long because the pain will bother me. I don't know what to do anymore. I don't think I've recovered well. And I think I'm recovering slowly. Is this serious or not?
Hello Blanca,
Thank you very much for sharing your case. Based on your comments, it would be important for a doctor to re-evaluate your injury to see how it's progressed and determine if there are any complications causing the pain and swelling. In some cases, after-effects may occur that require specialized follow-up or more specific rehabilitation treatments.
Greetings.
Hello, I'd like to know which walking boot is ideal for supporting the heel bone while using a walker. Thank you.
Hello, thank you for your inquiry.
The most suitable walking boot for supporting the calcaneus is usually a short or medium-height walking boot with a rocker sole and good heel cushioning, allowing for progressive and stable weight-bearing with the aid of a walker. However, the exact choice depends on the diagnosis and weight-bearing plan prescribed by your doctor.
It's best to have it recommended after an in-person assessment to ensure it's safe for you. If you'd like to discuss this with our team in Madrid, you can call us at +34 910 053 900.
Bonjour, j ai eu une fracture du calcaneum il ya 25 ans. Cassé en trois morceaux j ai donc eu trois brooches. Je suis subté 1 an en bequille et j ai boiter pendant 3 a 4 ans… aujourd'hui des que je marche beaucoup ou apres une grosse journée de travail je peux a peine marcher. Grosse douleur in dessous de la malléole côté intérieur du pied. Je n avais pas eu a me plaindre de douleur jusqu'à ce jour. Est-ce normal d avoir des douleurs si longtemps après?
Bonjour, oui, des douleurs peuvent apparaître des années après une fracture du calcanéum, souvent liées à une arthrose secondaire, des sequelles tendineuses ou un conflit sous-malléolaire. A special evaluation with radiographs allows you to specify the origin and adapt the treatment.
