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

Figure 2

(a) Left lateral hindfoot radiograph shows an extra-articular calcaneal avulsion fracture occurring in conjunction with a fracture of the medial process (Beavis II, Squires I). Note the proximal fragment pulled cephalad by the Achilles tendon. (b) Interfragmentary compression is maintained with a periarticular reduction clamp, and provisional fixation is performed with two 2.0 mm K-wires inserted from the superior aspect of posterior tuberosity of the calcaneus.
