Abstract
Calcaneal apophyseal fractures are rare injuries. Careful review of radiographs are necessary to make the correct diagnosis and initiate prompt treatment. The authors report the case of an adolescent with a severely displaced calcaneal apophyseal fracture that was missed on initial evaluation due to significant soft tissue swelling and misinterpretation of radiographs.
