**1. Introduction**

Calcaneus fractures are the most common fracture of the tarsal bones, comprising 60% of all adult tarsal fractures [1]. The incidence of calcaneus fractures is 11.5 per 100,000 annually and occurs 2.4 times more in males than in females [2, 3]. The peak incidence for males occurs between 20 and 29 years, while for females, incidence peaks between 60 and 70 years of age [3, 4].

Calcaneus fractures are commonly present in younger populations due to a fall from a height [5, 6]. In osteoporotic individuals, the strong contraction of the gastrocsoleus complex through the Achilles tendon can cause calcaneal tuberosity fractures. Almost 77% of calcaneus fractures have associated injuries, highlighting the importance of a thorough evaluation for associated occult fractures in calcaneus fractures [7].
