ABSTRACT
The calcaneus has a rich vascular supply; therefore, avascular necrosis of the calcaneus is extremely rare. We report the first case of bone infarct of the calcaneus 9 months after a fracture. We also review the literature on osteonecrosis of the calcaneus to offer potential mechanisms for bone infarction in the calcaneus after a fracture.
