Abstract

The authors present 6 cases of avulsion fracture of the posterior tuberosity of the calcaneus (beak fractures), treated all of them in our hospital, 5 of them surgically (open reduction + stabilization with screws). The results have been satisfactory in all the cases so much cosmetic like in the functional aspect.
