Abstract
Calcaneal apophyseal fracture is especially rare in young children. Furthermore, this type of fracture is sometimes overlooked in children because of subtle radiographic findings. The studies reported on this fracture are rare. We report two calcaneal apophyseal fractures that were present in the proximal half of calcaneal apophysis and were treated with fixation of the avulsed bony fragment using nonabsorbable suture.
