Heel (calcaneus) bone fractures are caused because of fall from a height which crushes this important load bearing bone of the foot. |
| Since the shape of the calcaneus is complex and also difficult to see, even during surgery, fractures of this bone are usually not treated surgically. |  |
 |
In this case of a 30 year old man, where the calceneus was fractured with a small piece being internally twisted, the model proved to be an excellent tool for visualisation of the post traumatic anatomy and helped in planning the surgical steps for reconstruction. |
