IntroductionIntroduction
Treatment is controversial, with mixed Treatment is controversial, with mixed outcomes for both surgical and outcomes for both surgical and nonsurgical management. nonsurgical management. Very severe injury, this was recognized Very severe injury, this was recognized earlyearlyInitially all were treated nonsurgically. Initially all were treated nonsurgically. Initial surgical treatment was a primary Initial surgical treatment was a primary subtalar fusionsubtalar fusion

Mechanism of injuryMechanism of injury
EssexEssex--LoprestiLopresti -- described two basic described two basic fracture types: joint depressed and fracture types: joint depressed and tongue type. tongue type. Axial compression with an oblique Axial compression with an oblique primary fracture line.primary fracture line.AnteriorAnterior--lateral superior to posteriorlateral superior to posterior--medial inferiormedial inferiorInvolving some portion of the posterior Involving some portion of the posterior facetfacetLateral process acts as a wedgeLateral process acts as a wedge

MechanismMechanism
Fracture is caused by a shearing forceFracture is caused by a shearing force
The posterior The posterior tuberositytuberosity is lateral to the is lateral to the mechanical axis of the legmechanical axis of the leg
This primary fracture line divides the This primary fracture line divides the calcaneuscalcaneus into a into a sustenaculumsustenaculum piece piece and a and a tuberositytuberosity piece.piece.
The secondary fracture line determines The secondary fracture line determines joint depression versus tongue typejoint depression versus tongue type
