A 78-year-old woman complained of right heel pain when tripping during walking. Radiographs revealed an avulsion fracture of the calcaneal tuberosity. Because the bone fragment was displaced, a novel osteosynthesis using the side-locking loop suture (SLLS) and ring pins was performed. At 3 months after the surgery, non-contrast computed tomography revealed complete bone union. At 2 years postoperatively, she had no symptoms and dysfunctions. Here, we describe a case of avulsion fracture of the calcaneal tuberosity in a 79-year-old female who treated with a novel surgical technique using combination the SLLS technique and ring pins. This surgical technique may be a useful option in the treatment for avulsion fractures of the calcaneal tuberosity.
一名78岁女性在行走时绊倒后抱怨右足跟疼痛。X线片显示跟骨结节撕脱骨折。由于骨块移位，采用侧锁环缝线（SLLS）和环形针进行了一种新型骨固定术。术后3个月，非增强计算机断层扫描显示骨完全愈合。术后2年，她没有症状和功能障碍。在此，我们描述一例79岁女性跟骨结节撕脱骨折病例，该患者采用SLLS技术和环形针联合的新型手术技术进行治疗。这种手术技术可能是治疗跟骨结节撕脱骨折的一种有用选择。
