… Therefore, we recommend urgent CT scan for fractures associated with high-energy impacts
like our case to assess the threat to surrounding soft tissue. We advise to read the CT scan
carefully and to be aware that any protruding fragment toward the skin that could cause skin …
Plain radiographs can fail to detect impending soft tissue damage secondary to comminuted
calcaneal fractures. We recommend using emergent CT imaging to assess soft tissue status
for any high-energy calcaneal fracture, even if lateral X-ray shows a depression-type fracture. …
Conclusion:
X-ray imaging is not sufficient to exclude surgical emergencies with calcaneal fractures. Highly comminuted fractures should be assessed more thoroughly with urgent CT scan.
