Combined Lag Screw and Cerclage Wire Fixation for Calcaneal Tuberosity Avulsion Fractures

Figure 3

(a) Left lateral hindfoot radiograph shows an intra-articular calcaneal avulsion fracture occurring in conjunction with a fracture of the medial process (Beavis NC, Squires IV). ((b) and (c)) Lateral hindfoot and axial calcaneus radiographs show modified cerclage wire tension band technique through two 7.0 mm partially threaded cannulated screws. Observe the configuration of the wire on the axial radiograph.
