Many of us can relate. A calcaneus fracture is a very complicated injury.

Sorry,i made it so simple sounding.Have you ever experienced a popping sound when you stretch your foot??

Hi, Sherry: My husband shattered his heel back in April from a fall from a roof. He had surgery 9 days later--a plate and six screws. He is walking now without crutches and he occasionally gets the popping sound you describe. From what I've heard, it's scar tissue that is breaking up as you start moving the foot again. Not a bad thing!

Thanks for the info!Is your husband still in therapy?My last ct scan last week is showing that somehow,Ive actually bent my plate somehow...I still have alot of pain,and discomfort. Im not sure how much is due to the damaged plate..They have suggested having the plate removed. Im healed 99%,The doctor said..Im not sure where to go from here.
