Résumé

La fracture avulsion de la tubérosité calcanéenne est une entité rare. Le traitement chirurgical est la méthode thérapeutique principale. Nous rapportons deux cas de cette lésion, le premier chez un homme de 20 ans et le second chez une femme diabétique de 60 ans. À travers ces illustrations de la fracture avulsion de la tubérosité calcanéenne confrontées aux données de la littérature, nous discutons les caractéristiques cliniques et thérapeutiques de cette lésion.

Abstract

The avulsion fracture of the calcaneal tuberosity is a rare entity. Surgery is the main therapeutic method. We report two cases of avulsion fracture, the first in a man of 20 years and the second in a diabetic 60-year-old woman. Through these illustrations of the avulsion fracture of the large calcaneal tuberosity confronted with data literature, we discuss the clinical and therapeutic interventions for this injury.
