What are other mechanical causes of heel pain?
Calcaneal stress reaction or fracture, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, Achilles tendinopathy, calcaneal apophysitis, Haglund deformity or nerve entrapment, to name a few.
PD mDixon and T1w images show an incomplete, non-displaced, extraarticular fracture of the calcaneal tuberosity extending to the medial surface.
Fat-saturated PD mDixon shows mild surrounding bone marrow oedema and also a high signal change of the quadratus plantae muscle consistent with oedema/hematoma.
Syndesmosis, talofibular, calcaneofibular and deltoid ligaments as well as peronael, long flexor and extensor tendons as well as the Achilles tendon are intact.
