Entire calcaneus reconstruction with pedicled composite fibular growth plate flap in a pediatric patient.

Traumatic calcanectomy is a complicated rare condition that results in chronic pain and loss of limb function as the calcaneus is crucial for bearing weight. For an adult, possible treatment options are limited to below knee amputation, bone grafts, and 3D prosthesis; however, for the pediatric population, therapeutic data are scarce. In this case report, the authors describe a technique that provides the possibility for hindfoot reconstruction while maintaining growth potential without traumatizing other anatomic regions.
