ABSTRACT
Secondary soft tissue injuries can occur from the pressure of the displaced fragment of posterior calcaneal tuberosity in calcaneal tongue-type fractures and calcaneal tuberosity avulsion fractures. The soft tissue injury can be prevented by immediate reduction of the displaced fragments. Various techniques can be used to fix the fracture fragments, but the stability of fixation and minimal invasiveness to soft tissue should be considered. This paper reports the successful outcomes of patients with soft tissue compromises in calcaneal tongue-type fractures and calcaneal tuberosity avulsion fractures. The fixation technique of a large cannulated screw and simple cerclage wiring is believed to be a useful surgical option for the treatment of secondary soft tissue compromised calcaneal fractures.
