Abstract
This is a case report of a 19-year-old woman who sustained multiple fractures including a right calcaneal fracture with extrusion of the posterior facet. The medial soft-tissue injury led to a full thickness skin loss. Despite loss of subtalar motion and decreased toe movement, she is satisfied with her result. The importance of the soft-tissue injuries, especially to the skin and tendons, associated with severely displaced calcaneal fracture dislocations is emphasized by this case report.
