    Calcaneal Plating System | Acumed
    A Posterior Tuberosity Calcaneal Locking Plate is a specialized orthopedic implant designed to treat calcaneal tuberosity fractures, particularly in cases with poor bone quality or severe comminution. These anatomical plates provide stable fixation for avulsion fractures, often featuring tapered ends for easier insertion and locking holes that accept 3.5mm or 4.0mm locking screws. 
    Key Features & Advantages 
    • Anatomical Design: Shaped specifically to match the posterior tuberosity, ensuring proper reduction of the Achilles tendon insertion.
    • Locking Technology: Superior stability compared to traditional screws, especially in osteoporotic or comminuted bone, reducing the risk of loosening.
    • Reduced Complications: Small size reduces soft tissue irritation, which is critical in the heel area.
    • Stability: Allows for early, active functional exercise. 
    Usage in Surgery 
    • Indication: Primarily used for calcaneal tuberosity avulsion fractures, often associated with osteoporosis, diabetes, or peripheral neuropathy.
    • Technique: Frequently applied via a U-shaped or percutaneous approach to minimize soft tissue trauma.
    • Fixation: Involves placing the plate posteriorly or laterally and securing it with locking screws to the calcaneal tuberosity.
    • Components: Often used within a comprehensive Calcaneal Plating System that may include variable angle screws. 
    Commonly Used Systems 
    • Double Medical (MT) Posterior Tuberosity Calcaneal Locking Plate: Features tapered ends.
    • Acumed Calcaneal Plating System: Offers specialized plates for various fracture types.
    • Locking Compression Hook Plates: Used to hook the fragment for increased stability.

    People also ask
    How is a calcaneal tuberosity fracture treated?
    Simple calcaneal tuberosity avulsion fracture can often be treated conservatively, which consists of fixation in a non‐weight‐bearing position for 3–4 weeks using a plaster splint in an equinus position, followed by maintenance with plaster cast or progressive weight‐bearing in padded shoes for 3–4 weeks.

    How long does it take to walk after calcaneus surgery?
    Exercises of the foot and ankle are to be encouraged at about 6 weeks after surgery. You will not be putting weight on the leg for 6-8 weeks, but are allowed to be as mobile as you can, with crutches or a walker device.

    What attaches to the posterior tuberosity of the calcaneus?
    The superficial muscles in the posterior compartment of the lower leg (e.g., the gastrocnemius, plantaris, and soleus muscles) join at their inferior aspects to form the calcaneal tendon, or Achilles tendon, which attaches to the calcaneal tuberosity.Feb 4, 2025

    Why is it called Lover's fracture?
    Historically a burst fracture of the calcaneus was coined a "lovers' fracture" as the injury would occur as a suitor jumped off a lover's balcony to avoid detection.Jul 31, 2023
