Fractures of the calcaneus have been considered rare among children. We feel this may be erroneous since in the last 12 months we have seen 10 such fractures among children, 19 and 41 months of age, who presented with acute limping. The fractures were detected with bone imaging which was performed when initial radiographs were noncontributory. Subsequent radiographs of the calcaneus were positive for fracture in 4 of 10 while follow up radiographs confirmed healing fractures in the two children so evaluated. The sensitivity of bone imaging for the detection of occult fractures in toddlers is emphasized.
跟骨骨折在儿童中一直被认为较为罕见。我们认为这可能是错误的，因为在过去12个月里，我们已经见到10例此类骨折发生在年龄为19个月和41个月、表现为急性跛行的儿童身上。这些骨折是在初次X线片无诊断价值时通过骨显像检测出来的。10例中有4例跟骨的后续X线片显示骨折阳性，而接受评估的两名儿童的随访X线片证实骨折已愈合。强调了骨显像在检测幼儿隐匿性骨折方面的敏感性。
