No evidence of fractures or malalignment. Spurs at the insertion of the calcaneal tendon and plantar fascia are noted. Multiple round and somewhat serpiginous soft tissue calcifications along the medial aspect of the leg are likely related to varicose veins calcifications.
Case Discussion
Prominent dystrophic soft tissue calcifications in keeping with varicose vein phleboliths.
