What are the symptoms of calcaneal fractures?

Calcaneal fracture, generally clinically more common in heel direct violence injury, the main points for attention are the following: first, the patient falls from a height, car accident impact or jump directly on the heel, resulting in local obvious pain, swelling, to immediately go to the hospital to see a doctor, take x-ray, to understand whether there is calcaneal fracture occurred. Second, if the diagnosis of calcaneal fracture is clear, pay attention to further CT examination, general classification to determine the initial treatment plan. Third, for those without obvious displacement, conservative treatment can be considered. If the calcaneus is obviously crushed or involves the subtalar joint, and the arch is obviously collapsed, surgery is generally required. Fourth, after surgery, the main attention is paid to the healing of the incision. The heel area is thick due to the cuticle, poor blood supply, skin necrosis and infection, so it is necessary to change dressings regularly and pay attention to incision bleeding. Fifth, we should start to restore ankle joint activities and functional exercises as soon as possible, reduce joint adhesion, muscle atrophy, increase joint mobility, and promote functional recovery.
