The avulsion fracture of the calcaneal tuberosity are rare. They correspond to a disinsertion of the calcaneal tendon and must necessarily be repaired surgically. The mechanisms of injury are forced plantar flexion or abrupt dorsiflexion. In this article, we report a rare case of avulsion fracture of the calcaneal tuberosity in a 35-year-old man. We discuss the clinical and therapeutic aspects for this lesion. Surgical treatment was realized with Percutaneous Cannulated Screw Fixation and equinus short leg cast immobilization.
